Hearing the noise of the key in the lock, turning the knob and crossing the threshold gives us all that welcoming feeling of being home. This house has been that home to generations of the same family, and it's time to pass those feelings on to its next owner. Almost 2 acres of level property await in an excellent location with easy access to I84 exit 11, or a short ride to the New Haven area. Outside has a newer roof(2014) and seamless gutters. Well and septic were replaced in 2010. Inside is built around almost 2000 SF, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, original red oak hardwood flooring and a large living room with fireplace. Eat-in Kitchen, walk-in Attic. Oil-fired forced-air heat, central air conditioning. 2 Car attached garage. Inlaw potential, lower bedroom on end of house has separate entrance, patio, full bath and kitchenette. Sure it wont be easy, this house needs some work to restore it to how it once was, but when the right opportunity presents itself, it may be the one that takes you home. Sold as-is. Probably wont qualify for FHA financing-peeling paint.
