Two-Family Opportunity in South Meriden with a Yard You'll Love If you've been looking for a two-family home that offers both investment potential and a place to call your own, this one deserves a look. Set in popular South Meriden, this spacious property offers three bedrooms and one full bath on each of the first and second floors, with separate utilities for each unit except water and sewer. The town records the home as an 8-bedroom property because two finished attic rooms are counted as bedrooms, giving you even more flexibility for storage, hobbies, office space, or future possibilities. For an owner-occupant, the setup is especially appealing: live in one unit and rent the other to help offset your mortgage. Investors will appreciate the two-unit configuration, natural gas heat and hot water, and central air on the first floor. But the real surprise may be the backyard. Fully fenced and surprisingly spacious, it feels like its own little retreat, complete with a gazebo, barn-style shed, attached lean-to, and even an herb garden. The gazebo, shed, and gate were thoughtfully built by the father of the family, adding a personal touch you simply don't find in every home. Picture summer dinners under the gazebo, gardening in the sunshine, or letting the kids and pets enjoy the fenced-in yard.
