About This Home

As of September 2021

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS TO FOLLOW NEXT WEEK. This 3 bedroom/3 bathroom two story is in a fantastic Norwalk neighborhood. You’ll love the curb appeal even before you get inside. Open the door and you’ll find a nice sized family room with beautiful wood accent wall which provides warmth and character. The dining room is large with sliders leading to a private FULLY FENCED backyard, backing to a pond so you won’t ever have neighbors right on top of you! The kitchen is open yet tucked away from the view of the front door. Rounding out the main level is a flex room that is perfect for an office, play room, formal dining room, or whatever you need it to be. On the second level you’ll find a large master suite with vaulted ceiling, along with two additional bedrooms. There are two FULL baths on this level. As an added bonus, this home already has a radon mitigation system for your peace of mind.
