About This Home

As of May 2026

Welcome Home to 51 Sterling Drive...your story begins in this charming 3-bdrm, 1.5 bath Colonial that has been a treasured homestead for years. A gardener's dream...this home is set on a lovely level lot anchored with years of carefully cultivated perennials, shrubs and landscaping that is a pure delight for the senses. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, as you drive up to this home, you are greeted by a lush green lawn, a curved paver walkway, blue fieldstone stoop and a welcoming entrance. The living room is filled with natural sunlight, gleaming hardwood floors & a great fireplace that anchors the room. The dining room is large with hardwood flooring and easy access to the multi-functional kitchen. So many wonderful meals have been made in this kitchen, and the granite counters are so pretty and make meal prep/cleanup super easy. Just outside from the kitchen is a 3-season sun porch that is a true luxury. Enjoy evening cocktails, dining alfresco and added square footage for family and friends to "hang out" and enjoy your private backyard oasis! Get ready for SUMMER---the in-ground pool allows your home to be the "PLACE TO HANG OUT " on a hot summer day. The upstairs bedrooms are spacious & hardwood floors make this an allergy-friendly place. This home is located in the much sought after Griswold school district and just a short drive to the beautiful CT shoreline...
