About this home

Absolutely Charming: this historic 1918 Waterbury Colonial has 5 bedrooms and has been meticulously cared for. Improvements include newer windows, furnace, roof, and a 3 car addition. From a quaint front porch, walk into an entry foyer that leads to the Great Room with a beautiful woodburning fireplace that has a lovely mantle to decorate for Christmas, and built-in bookcases . A sunny solarium off the Great Room is a light and airy Family space and leads to an architect designed gorgeous screened porch, perfect for summer living. The Dining Room is a perfect space for gathering the family. A gourmet cook works in this white kitchen with granite counters, cookbook space, and a window seat overlooking the gardens and bird feeders. A large center aisle with cook top is good work space and has counter dining. The 2nd floor has a unique lay out with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths, and great choices for bedrooms and offices. NW bedroom has access to attic for storage. The pristine basement has new waterproofing (September 2022). This home has approximately 300 more sq ft than shown on assessor.
