Charming dormered Cape in a desirable Newington neighborhood offering flexible living and thoughtful updates. The main level features hardwood floors in the living room, dining room, and first-floor bedroom. A gas fireplace installed in 2023 anchors the living space, while decorative millwork in the dining room adds character and warmth. The kitchen offers painted cabinetry, tile flooring, newer stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator, and a convenient pass-through opening to the dining area that enhances flow and functionality. Upstairs you will find two additional bedrooms and a full bath with stand-up shower. The main level full bath includes a tub/shower combination. A half bath with toilet and sink is located in the unfinished basement. Gas heat and central air were both replaced in 2022, providing peace of mind. The electric 50 gallon water heater is approximately five years old. Several rooms have been recently painted, creating a fresh and well-maintained feel throughout. The unfinished basement includes washer and dryer and offers excellent storage space. A breezeway connects the home to the one-car garage, providing convenient covered access.
