About This Home
As of December 2021Welcome to a charming, classic Colonial style 3 – 4 bedroom home, in the Bettswood section of East Norwalk. This wonderful home is delightful any time of the year, as you relax in front of a cozy, warm fire glowing in the colder months or sitting on the airy enclosed porch in the spring, summer and fall. The living room leads to a bright family room perfect for watching TV, a playroom or a first floor office. Upstairs, 3 good sized bedrooms offer great private space. Town records note a 4th bedroom but the layout makes a wonderful office or dressing room outside the master bedroom. An added benefit is a large room in the lower level, perfect as an office, exercise space or playroom, meeting the needs of today's work-from-home lifestyle. New appliances, quartz countertops and floor in the kitchen make meal prep time a pleasure. The enclosed porch invites you to spend time outside, enjoying your private, level backyard. Numerous upgrades are included; hardwood floors (refinished 5 years ago) run throughout most rooms on the first and second floor, new heating and AC system, freshly paint. The house also has city water and sewer. Located in a quiet neighborhood, you can walk to concerts at the City Hall Concert Center, walk to the East Norwalk train, have easy access to I-95, the new SONO Mall, Stew Leonard’s and numerous other shopping opportunities.and numerous other shopping opportunities.
