Beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath Waterbury home. You won’t believe all this home has to offer. The kitchen, which opens the den with a gas fireplace, has been recently updated. This home also features a single and a two car detached garage, deck, and a re-built porch off of the living room. There is also a walk up attic. The roof and driveway are very new and the furnace was replaced Nov. 2017.
