Property Description

Imagine a midcentury brick ranch in Waterbury on a large corner lot with a walkout basement listed for under $300,000! This darling 1950 midcentury modern home is just that - priced at $299 and ready for new owners to move in. This home features an open living and dining room with a large built-in display cabinet and newer carpet. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and a slate floor but also includes the original wood cabinets and a charming pink kitchen sink. All three bedrooms are on the main floor and have gorgeous wood floors with views of majestic oaks out of every window. The full bath has been updated but the pink wall tiles have been lovingly preserved. The partially finished basement features a wet bar and an eco-friendly, cost-effective pellet stove (installed 2021). You can walk outside or down a few steps to reach the 2-car attached garage. A separate basement room with a large picture window would make a perfect workout or hobby room. There is alley access behind the home with one parking spot. The fenced-in backyard has 3 gates for easy in and out. A small side yard has raised beds for herb or flower gardens. Asphalt shingle roof, new in 2021. New concrete patio and stairs leading to the home, poured in 2022. Radon mitigation system, 2020.
