Willimantic Connecticut (06226) is a city within the town of Windham. It is also known as “Thread City,” based on its history as a center for the production of silk and cotton thread. You’ll know you’re in Willimantic when you cross over “The Frog Bridge,” a landmark adorned with eight foot high bronze frogs atop concrete thread spools. The spools on the bridge represent Willimantic’s prominence in cotton thread and silk manufacturing, and the Frogs represent the Great Swamp Fight of 1754, in which Windham residents supposedly fired on a pond because they mistook frog calls for Indian war signals. While keeping the history alive, the city today is abundant with museums, and is also home to Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU). Willimantic is also just a few miles from the University of Connecticut Storrs Campus. Willimantic is best known for its high concentration of Victorian homes.

A Diamond in the (Very) Rough. This 4 bed 1 bath ranch located on the outskirts of town has great potential but needs TLC. Fronting on the Willimantic River, it's a picturesque location with a lot that slopes gently down to the river. Inside the kitchen and living room are open for a spacious feel, there's a full bath and 4 bedrooms all on the main level. Oil heat, vinyl siding newer roof and city water are all pluses. Property needs significant work otherwise, there is no flooring in the living room (only plywood sub-floor), it's filled with debris, has an odor, is being sold completely As-Is and has been priced accordingly. Most likely will not qualify for any type of government financing except a rehab loan, but for the right buyer could be a great flip or fixer-upper.
