About This Home
Just minutes from Quinnipiac University and hitting the market for the first time in 48 years, this lovingly maintained, one-owner Raised Ranch offers an abundance of living space, storage, and versatility. The main level features hardwood flooring throughout, three generously sized bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The spacious 25' x 20' family room has been the heart of countless family gatherings over the years, while the kitchen and dining room provide plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. The lower level offers an additional 18' x 20' finished room, perfect for a playroom, home office, recreation area, or entertaining space, along with a convenient half bathroom. Storage is abundant throughout the home. Two unfinished areas provide plenty of space, with one featuring a workbench ideal for hobbies and projects. A pull-down attic provides additional floored storage for seasonal items and belongings. Step outside to enjoy the deck, with plenty of space for outdoor seating and grilling. Forced hot-air heat and central air conditioning provide year-round comfort. Recent updates include a 2018 driveway, new oil tank installed in January 2026, and two remodeled bathrooms, completed in 2022 and 2026. With its spacious layout, abundant storage, flexible finished areas, and long history of loving ownership, this home is a must-see!
