About This Home
From the moment you step onto the front porch, it's clear this 1928 home is something special. Brimming with charm and bathed in natural light, the interior offers a bright, happy energy that's hard to find. The main level features an effortless flow, including a spacious living and dining area framed by large windows and soaring high ceilings that create an incredible sense of scale and airiness throughout. The updated white kitchen is a chef's delight with stainless appliances, connecting seamlessly to a cozy lounge area and a convenient half bath. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite is a true standout and a rare find for a home of this vintage. This retreat offers the luxury of its own private bathroom and a walk-in closet-providing a level of convenience and privacy that is hard to come by in a classic build. The surprises continue outside with "Suite G," a finished garage space. Whether you envision a quiet home office, a dedicated workout studio, or a creative escape, this flexible bonus area adapts to your lifestyle. The property is professionally landscaped, creating a beautiful backdrop for outdoor enjoyment. Positioned on a picturesque street, the location is unbeatable. A 5 minute walk from the Noroton Heights train station, putting transit, local shops, and dining favorites all within easy reach. With its perfect blend of character and modern updates, this is a home that truly offers the best of both worlds.
