45 Alder St, Waterbury, CT 06708

Back in the day, the wealthy built grand homes like 45 Alder Street to show off their money & good taste. Entrances and separate hallways for the domestic help & delivery people created the illusion that the house magically operated by itself. When you climb the front stairs to the large covered porch & enter thru the front door, with its beautiful stained glass windows, you immediately notice the formal entryway, the French doors separating the living room from the chilly air, the beautiful wood banisters & trim work as well as the wood paneling that was added, even in the full basement w/ its 8' ceilings. Don't want to walk up the stairs? Drive the car to 1 of 2 side entrances & enter thru a room that was probably the housekeeper's kitchen w/ its built in's including 1 for the ironing board. 2nd entrance leads to a room w/ its own stairs where they used to hang laundry on the line. Graciously sized rooms for easy entertaining. Galley kitchen, including stainless steel appliances, opens up to the front - back living room w/ a 1/2 bath discretely tucked away. Leave the public area for the private level w/ 3 large bedrooms & full bath w/ a doorway leading to the finished walkup attic. Floored, sheet rocked, heated with a room that could be turned into another bath, this could be a spectacular master, bonus room or man cave. Currently there's no garage but 2 stone walls remain from the original structure so a garage could be added. Close to everything. Come See for yourself!
