65 New Cheshire Rd, Meriden, CT 06451

Located in a desirable South Meriden neighborhood, this beautifully refurbished classic home is just a stone's throw from both the Wallingford and Cheshire lines, giving quick access to several business centers. A half-acre of yard, lined with stunning mature trees and surrounded by vegetation in the summer for privacy from the neighbors is the perfect place to relax and entertain. A full walk-out basement provides a one car garage, and easy access to 1100sf of space for your storage or workshop. The finished staircase up to the walk-up (floored) attic leads to another additional ~950sf of storage or living space that is just begging to be converted into a master suite with a second bathroom. The main floor layout is very smart, providing two large bedrooms and a very large living room with a full wall of built-in bookcases. All rooms branch off of a central hallway, making the flow from area to area unrestricted. This home is worlds apart from the many small capes and builder-grade flipper houses in the area and must be seen to appreciate the difference in spaciousness and quality. This is an exceptional home to live in and will provide the new owners with a lifetime of pride and joy. Many energy-efficient upgrades have been made, keeping utility bills very affordable. Work is underway on restoration of the original cedar siding that has been hidden by vinyl since the 70s. If you make an offer now, you may still have the option of choosing the color!

The home boasts original red oak wood floors throughout which were refinished in 2018 along with brand new tile in the bathroom and all new lighting and plumbing fixtures including a rainfall shower. All of the original radiators were removed, sandblasted to remove decades of layers of paint and re-painted with conductive aluminum paint before re-installation, both beautifying the place while also making them much more efficient. All of the doors and windows have been recently replaced for energy efficiency. Other energy-minded upgrades have included a heat pump water heater with WIFI app control, recent high-efficiency furnace with smart WIFI thermostat, insulation of the main floor and rim joist as well as basement windows and garage door. An energy audit was recently done, confirming the house is very well sealed. The current owner used less than one tank of oil this winter! All appliances in the kitchen were recently replaced with top of the line slate enamel (no fingerprints) GE kitchen appliances. The blue-tooth bathroom fan connects to Alexa so you can request your favorite tunes or podcast by voice while in the shower. The roof was done with 30 year architectural shingles around 2014. Gutter guards were installed in the fall. The windows were all replaced with high quality over-sized thermo-pane vinyl windows. All windows have quality cellular shades installed that will remain. The chimney has been closed off to stop air leaking but can be reverted back to a working fireplace if desired. Currently it has a custom-built entertainment center insert which was built from the original basement door of the house. Owner is the selling agent. This is not a flip, it was intended to be the seller's personal home so everything was done to the highest quality. The mid 40's were the height of construction quality in this country and this house is rock solid, classical, retains its originality while being tastefully updated, a lush property that is the largest in the neighborhood, a rare walk out basement, and a second floor for expansion. A rare opportunity.
