About this home

Classic 1928 brick Colonial in the heart of Waterbury, cared for by the same family for four decades. Original character is everywhere. Arched doorways, crown molding, hardwood floors, and generous built-ins throughout, with a gas fireplace and tile surround anchoring the living room. The kitchen offers granite counters, stainless appliances, and exposed brick. Three bedrooms up, all hardwood, the primary with two closets, plus a cedar closet in the hall. The climate-controlled sunroom is the flex space every home needs, sunny enough for plants, quiet enough for an office, comfortable year round. If you're looking to add on, the sunroom and the area over the attached two-car garage are worth a look. The concrete driveway is newer and the main water service line was replaced in 2022. Outside, just over a quarter acre, fully fenced, with mature trees and a large concrete patio. The alley access turns out to be one of the best parts. The sellers will tell you it's where they got to know...
