About This Home
Set on .61 acres/26571 sqft with a backyard that borders the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, 212 Dorrance Street offers three bedrooms, including one on the main level, two full baths, and split system AC on both levels. Natural sunlight fills the home and highlights the freshly refinished hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen features new granite countertops and brand new cabinetry. A fireplace adds warmth to the living room, and an archway opens to the dining room, adding character to both spaces. The lower level offers flexible space for a home office, workout room, or playroom. With the trail just beyond the backyard and Hamden Middle School within walking distance, the location makes it easy to get outside and stay close to everyday essentials. Hamden High School, Bear Path Elementary School, Sleeping Giant Park, major grocery stores, and shopping plazas are all a short drive away, with universities and major highways also nearby. Come see what makes 212 Dorrance Street feel like home!
