Description

Step into history with this stately three-story greek revival-style home, known as the godwin-baker house, built in the 1860s by daniel c. godwin, a prominent businessman and hotelier in milford. situated on a rare, expansive double lot in the heart of downtown milford, this unique property combines historical charm with thoughtful, modern upgrades. this iconic residence, once the home and office of dr. john baker, milford’s first pediatrician and former head of pediatrics at milford memorial hospital, has evolved significantly over time. originally, the land was occupied by a modest one-story dwelling, and over the years, it transformed into the grand estate it is today. the first floor features two large family rooms (one with wood-burning fireplace), a breakfast room with beautiful bay windows, and a completely renovated kitchen with modern finishes, perfectly blending convenience with the home’s classic design. on the second floor, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms filled with natural light, while the third floor offers three additional bedrooms, historically used for household staff, making it ideal for guest quarters. the home also includes bonus space that once housed dr. baker’s pediatric office, providing extra square footage perfect for a studio, office, or in-law suite. recent upgrades to the property include fresh paint throughout, a new roof with new soffit and fascia, landscaping overhaul and cleanup, regrading, and a complete upgrade of the electric panel and sub panel , ensuring modern electrical capacity throughout the home. the original hardwood floors throughout the home have been refinished, preserving the home’s historic charm, with only a small area requiring replacement for a seamless look. additionally, a fence marks the property lines on three sides, offering both privacy and definition.
the property also features a historic carriage house, a charming piece of milford’s past that adds another layer of unique appeal. originally built to accommodate horses and carriages, this structure has stood the test of time and now offers versatile potential. whether used as a detached garage space for vehicles or transformed into a workshop or storage area, the carriage house maintains its original character while offering practical, modern-day functionality. its classic architecture, paired with its rich history, makes it not only a functional asset but also a standout feature of this extraordinary property.
with most renovations already completed, the next owner has the opportunity to take this historic gem to new heights. whether transforming the space into an in-home studio, creating a charming bed and breakfast, or developing the property further within its r2 zoning potential, the possibilities for this home are truly limitless. additionally, the property offers the benefit of local downtown development district (ddd) incentives, is within the opportunity zone and is eligible for historic tax credits, making it an even more attractive investment for those looking to maximize its potential. the godwin-baker house offers a rare blend of historical significance, modern upgrades, and limitless potential. homes like this don’t come around often—this is your chance to carry on its remarkable legacy!
