About this home

Immaculate turn key home in the desirable Waterbury neighborhood. Completely renovated in 2016 and a 2 level flagstone patio added in 2017 there is little left to be done. Gorgeous original hardwood floors throughout this 3 story home. The finished 3rd floor attic is the perfect blank canvas to create a master retreat. With plenty of room to add a bathroom and a walk-in closet you will never want to leave its comforts. The second floor features 3 BRs and 1 BA. As you descend to the first floor down the stunning hardwood steps you are struck by the beauty of ornately finished uniquely shaped front door. There is a large dining rm with built in cabinets. Bonus family rm w/ fireplace. Formal living room w/ fireplace. Screened in porch perfect for those summer and fall evening. No home would be complete without having a 2 car attached garage w/ a driveway to park 3+ cars. Simply unheard of in an older neighborhood. Call me today so you can see it first hand.
