About This Home
Low bills. Big style. Perfect location. Enjoy unbelievably low electric bills thanks to solar panels that pay for themselves in this expansive 3-bedroom, 3-bath Raised Ranch, updated in 2015 with a newer roof, furnace, windows, beautifully refinished fireplace, and a stunning kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a center island. The open floor plan offers bright, spacious rooms with gleaming hardwood floors and a seamless flow to the large deck overlooking a tree-lined private backyard. The primary bedroom features its own en-suite bath, and the full walkout basement provides incredible flexibility-ideal for a family room, home gym, office, or additional living space with direct access to the outdoors. With an oversized 2-car garage, three modern baths, and a quiet neighborhood setting on two-thirds of an acre, this home combines comfort, style, and efficiency. Ideally located in Hamden's sought-after North End within the West Woods Elementary School district, with a view of Sleeping Giant. Back on market due to buyer not being able to obtain financing.
