342 Higby Rd, Middletown, CT 06457

Known as "The Lodge on Higby Road," this beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch home is on 1 1/2+/- acres in the Westfield section of Middletown - less than a 1/4 mile to Moody School, 1/2 mile to I-91. Bluestone granite steps lead to this home known as "The Lodge." New kitchen cabinets with quartz counters, stainless appliances, tile floor, and gorgeous south and western views with eating nook and breakfast bar. The large open living & dining room has a fireplace and opens to a large private deck. There is a main floor laundry. There are refinished oak hardwood floors throughout. The private master bedroom with vaulted ceilings has its own bathroom, and has sliders to your private backyard deck to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch nature. There is an enormous full basement with another fireplace - just waiting to be finished! New metal roof, new gutters. The electric was updated to 200 amps. This home has a private well and septic (however city water is available on the street should you choose to connect). Add in two sheds and you're enjoying quiet country living, GORGEOUS sunsets, yet close to shopping and highways.

This house and land offers many possibilities. Option one: The house could use a face lift and the land could use some clearing so you could enjoy the beautiful views of Higby Mountain. What a equity you would have when all is done. Option two: Subdivide 2 lots from the main house. Now you would have a home run!! There is slightly less than 4 acres with over 300 feet of frontage on Higby. City water is available but no sewer so the lots need to be one acre to allow for septic, call for the map showing the house with 2 building lots. The electrical is outdated & no AC. Oil heat with a new hot water heater but the boiler will need to be replaced at some point. There was an addition put on a few years ago which includes a master bed & bath. The original bath had the shower removed and a washer/dryer installed making it a 1-1/2 bathroom house. There are 2 bedrooms and an additional den/bedroom. There is a room which is large enough to become a laundry room/play room or office. If part of this room is converted into a laundry the original bath could have a bathtub shower reinstalled. There is a full unfinished basement.
