About This Home

As of April 2023

Looking for the walkability and convenience of the city, with the quiet space, beaches and schools of the suburbs? Look no further! This charmer at 59 Russell Street has it all... it's literally a 5-minute walk to East Norwalk train, as well as great delis, diners, restaurants and ice cream parlors. Hop on your bike to the beach or drive 10 minutes to enjoy Westport's dining and shopping. Inside, this home is graced by hardwood floors throughout, an original wood-burning fireplace with vintage mantel and mirror, plus thoughtful character touches. The open plan main level features an updated kitchen with new quartzite counters and a fresh look. A front-to-back living room, plus dining room, updated powder room and mudroom overlook the grassy yard. Upstairs, three bedrooms with hardwood floors are complemented by a cute vintage full bathroom. The lower level is partly finished and has been recently updated with family room and playroom, plus updated laundry room, storage and Bilco doors to the yard. The HVAC has been updated with a new high-efficiency furnace, tankless water heater and central air. Outside, the yard is private and practical, with a new 8x12 shed, organic vegetable garden and mature tree with the obligatory swing! The sunny patio is perfect for entertaining or relaxing. All this, plus the preferred trifecta of natural gas, city sewer and city water... this one won't last long!
