About This Home
As of June 2021LOCATION, CONDITION, VALUE!!! Calling all dog lovers too! A unique opportunity to own an updated, turn-key, 4/5 Bedroom, 4 bath Ranch. Cottontail is a well-kept secret and a highly sought-after neighborhood. Tucked away from the main thoroughfare where Norwalk, Darien, and Rowayton meet, yet just minutes away from a great, happening area in Fairfield County, CT, which provides major services, amenities, shopping, transportation. The Five Mile River borders the level .65 acre grounds, and meanders through the area creating pastoral vistas and a setting of peace and tranquility. The whole property has an electric fence for dogs. The owners also installed a fenced-in area for children and pets to safely play. A newly finished lower level has a Connecticut Basement System installation, with a lifetime protection warranty. This property is not in a flood zone and does not need special insurance. The sunny and bright home offers great flexibility as to how a family could utilize the living space. One room upstairs is a dedicated office and one room in the basement can be used as a bedroom with a full bath. Fireplace, 2 car detached garage, plenty of storage, central A/C, 17 KW generator, screened-in porch, great expansion possibilities too. A list of improvements and updates provided separately. Bank pre-approval or proof of funds required to get a confirmed appointment. *Agents please see private remarks*
