Three bedroom, two bath, 1880 colonial on 2.1 acres with small pond and brook. The home has been extensively updated with the best materials including a new roof, furnace, and septic. Beautiful views from dining room table overlooking the yard make for a relaxing atmosphere. Home has a fireplace and enclosed porch. The yard has a farm like feel to it with two sheds, chicken coup and woods galore. Ideal for anyone who has a trailer or two..maybe a commercial van. Property slopes off in back to reveal large grass area with places to park multiple trailers that your neighbors cannot see. Kinda like a secret parking lot. Enjoy country living along the central Connecticut coast as shops and beach are a few miles away!
