This stunning example of traditional craftsman architecture is located in the heart of Waterbury. It beautifully blends remarkable historical features with meaningful updates that preserve the style and elegance of this living space.

Elegant trim enhances every corner, inviting exploration and enticing you as you navigate through the home.

The formal dining room welcomes you, creating a space perfect for family gatherings or entertaining friends, flowing naturally into the thoughtfully updated kitchen, which features modern conveniences. A home addition completed in 1999 enhances this stunning residence. This expansive family room offers an open concept that can be adapted to suit your specific needs.
