Overview

Located on the edge of the highly sought-after Waterbury neighborhood, this beautifully restored two-story blends timeless character with extensive modern updates. Offering 3 bedrooms & 1.5 baths, the home showcases original details like rich woodwork, French doors, built-ins, restored oak hardwood floors, and mature trees, paired seamlessly with improvements designed to enhance everyday living. A major renovation completed in 2020 addressed numerous big-ticket items, including new James Hardie siding, new roof and gutters, energy-efficient Jeld-Wen windows with a lifetime breakage warranty, and updated electrical and plumbing systems. Added insulation and newer HVAC systems further improve year-round efficiency and peace of mind. The interior has been completely refreshed, making this historic home feel new. The remodeled kitchen features stainless steel appliances, while additional updates include new carpet upstairs, a remodeled full bath, updated lighting, and freshly skim-coated and painted walls throughout. Outside, the new concrete driveway leads to an oversized attached two-car garage rebuilt with a foundation designed to support a future deck or patio. Enjoy an unbeatable location close to downtown, the Art Center, bike trails, Ashworth Pool, dining, shopping, & interstate access. Located within the Hanawalt, Merrill, and Roosevelt feeder pattern, and with tax abatement in place through 2030 for the home improvements.
