About This Home
Enjoy the best of lake-area living in the desirable Silver Lake neighborhood at 26 Russell Road! Located in Meriden's north end, this one-owner, 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape sits just a short, easy stroll from the water's edge. Inside, you will find hardwood floors, a cozy living room with an electric fireplace, a kitchen, a dining room, a full bath, and 2 main-level bedrooms. Upstairs features 2 additional bedrooms with potential to add a future second full bath. The heated lower level (approx. 430 sq ft) expands your space with a family room, an electric fireplace, a half bath, a storage/tool room, and direct access to the 1-car garage. Recent mechanical updates include the oil tank, boiler, and electrical panel (all estimated within the last 5 years). Outside, the large deck with a gazebo is your private backyard getaway-perfect for morning coffee, summer BBQs, and entertaining friends. It overlooks a flat backyard with mature flower beds and a storage shed. A standout feature is the optional Silver Lake Association right in your neighborhood. For only $40 annually (already paid through 2026), you can walk right down to enjoy lakeside picnic tables, community space, a private boat launch, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. This well-kept Cape pairs a relaxed lake-area lifestyle with a quiet, peaceful neighborhood-featuring useful updates and plenty of room to make it your own. The home is being offered as-is, presenting an incredible opportunity that won't last long.
