What the owners love about this house: (1) A perfect blend of practical and historic. Previous remodels have left the original charm of arched doorways, wood-burning fireplace, & hardwood floors, and also have updated the kitchen and baths. (2) Great location - 10-minute drive to beach, less than a mile to train (also walkable!), close to 95, Stew Leonard's, Starbucks and more. (3) Dead-end street with watchful, friendly neighbors. (4) Basement offers a great space for playroom and TV area. We were able to keep our living room as a "reading room" and put toys, games and a TV downstairs. (5) The small yard is easy to maintain. We used a push mower and, on average, spent about an hour on the lawn every other week. There is also a great gardening space along the driveway that is great for vegetables and herbs and additional garden space in the back yard. (6) A great neighborhood for walking. Norwalk City Hall has a track and the nearby streets are all great for walking dogs, strollers, or yourself. (7) The neighborhood is a good mix of families who have been here for years and young families just moving in. (8) The house is ADORABLE. Also, it has been great having one-level living with a new baby. (9) Since the home is close to City Hall, we are among the first streets to get plowed and rarely lose power in storms. (10) This is a house that almost immediately feels like home. WE LOVE THIS HOUSE SO MUCH. It's a really special place.
