1137 Ridgewood Rd, Middletown, CT 06457

There's something about a ranch that makes life feel a little easier, and this contemporary Middletown home gives that idea room to breathe. Set on just over half an acre in the West End, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home was designed for comfortable everyday living. Hardwood floors flow through the main level, where the kitchen, dining and living spaces open to one another and a wood-burning fireplace with granite surround creates a cozy gathering place. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and plenty of room to cook while staying connected to it all. A split-bedroom design gives the primary suite its own sense of privacy, complete with a walk-in closet and private bath with jetted tub, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath are tucked on the opposite side of the home. Downstairs, the finished lower level with new carpeting and half bath offers flexible space for movie nights, a home office, gym or playroom. Outside, a large deck overlooks the flat, fully fenced backyard, where a playscape, shed and dedicated garden with raised beds leave plenty of room to play, plant and gather. Freshly painted throughout with central air, main-level laundry and an attached 2-car garage-all just minutes from downtown Middletown, shopping, dining and Routes 9 & 91.
