About This Home
Renovated from top to bottom, this three-bedroom home offers beautifully updated finishes, a functional layout, and an exceptional opportunity with an oversized back yard now included behind the home. Originally envisioned as a separate lot, the rear portion is now included with the property, giving the new owner the benefit of an expansive lot, added privacy, and valuable flexibility for future use. The main level features hardwood floors, an open and comfortable flow with modern finishes. Every update has been thoughtfully completed, creating a home that feels fresh, cohesive, and ready for its next chapter. The finished lower level extends the home's living space, making it ideal for a media room, home office, gym and playroom or add some cabinets and create an accessible unit/in-law suite. The lower level is above grade and has a walk out door and full windows. Located close to schools, parks, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, 38 Charter Oak offers an easy lifestyle with the benefit of a fully renovated interior.
