About This Home

As of April 2024

Welcome to one of West Norwalk's best condo complexes, Mallards Landing! There are some exceptional things about this unit and this complex. It is situated so close to shopping, restaurants, the highways and trains, and all the green spaces you might enjoy. But, it's tucked away over a small river, on a lightly wooded, and private complex. All the units have a storage space, covered parking spot, and a reserved spot, making fighting over parking a thing of the past. This comfy home is and end unit featuring 2 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Enter into the main hallways, where you can get to the entertaining space on the left, or living space on the right, all freshly painted. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are a central layout, with big, bright, and open spaces. There are beautiful, newer engineered wood floors in much of the condo. The bathrooms are clean, and in good condition. One is a shared hallway bath, the other is an en-suite bath to the master bedroom. That room also has a large closet. The other bedroom is also spacious. This unit is great because the living room and dining room both have a slider to a large deck. This deck, instead of facing the front, faces the back. There is laundry in the unit, and several closets for storage. Come see it before someone gets it first!
