About This Home

As of December 2023

Highest and Best by 5pm SUNDAY! Welcome to Norwalk's most unique condo unit on the market! Finding a ranch is a challenge, but finding one that is fully updated and without ANY stairs is almost impossible--enter 188 Flax Hill Rd #A4! When you enter the condo, you immediately get a sense of comfort, with charming updates, and cozy spaces. The layout is very open with the kitchen connecting to the living space. There are new floors that lead to a large living/dining room with a wood-burning fireplace. There is a slider out to a small, newly painted deck. The kitchen has a new backsplash, new appliances, and a design with little touches that elevate the experience. Ample counter and cabinet spaces and a new sink make this perfect for a chef. There is a cut-out into the living room area. There are 2 beds and 1.5 baths. The two beds have the same new floors throughout, and there is a large laundry closet with new machines and space to fold clothes and store supplies. Both bathrooms are fully updated and brand new, with the same elegant style as the kitchen. In addition to ample closets in the unit, there is a large ~7X9 storage unit downstairs. All of this amazing one-level living, within very short commute to the train station and all the great bars and restaurants in SONO. Parks, the Sono Collection, and all the shopping of CT Ave is close. All major transportation is around the corner, and with beach rights, you get all the best of Norwalk in one affordable package.
