Well-cared for Hamden colonial
Four-bedroom is on 1-acre, partially wooded lot
This absolutely immaculate single owner home in Hamden has been meticulously cared for through the years and is nestled on a nearly 1-acre, partially wooded lot in a desirable cul-desac neighborhood.
The first stop on a tour of this gracious home finds us in the spacious and bright living room. This beautiful space features charming built-in bookcases and leads to a cozy first floor family room accented by a brick fireplace.
Next is the fabulous eat-in kitchen, which has been generously updated by the present owners. The room is highlighted by sleek granite countertops and offers ample cabinet and counter space. This area also provides an enviable location in which to cook, gather and entertain.
The formal dining room features a bay window facing the front of the home, which is strategically set back from the road to ensure privacy. This lovely space looks out to a buffer of mature trees which border the sprawling front lawn and create a peaceful view.
Another highlight of the home is its enclosed three-season sunroom. This room extends across almost the full length of the house and provides a picturesque view of the property’s serene wooded surroundings.
On the second floor, you will find four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all with ceiling fans and ample closet space.
The master bedroom and its private full bathroom connect with a cavernous bonus room that has the ability to serve many different purposes. This space is situated over the garage and could function as an office, home gym or a media room.
Meanwhile; a first floor laundry room, full basement, pulldown attic, walk-in closets and two-car attached garage provide an abundance of storage space.
The home is brimming with generous updates throughout, including brand new hardwood floors that were installed on the first and second floors earlier this summer. The gleaming new flooring extends across all bedrooms, the bonus room and foyer, as well as the living, dining and family rooms.
According to listing agent Sally Tucker, the home boasts “fabulous curb appeal” and provides an abundance of space for entertaining family and friends.
“This listing represents almost 3,000 square feet of house that is priced to sell,” Tucker commented. “The buyer will receive so much house at an aggressive price.”
Tucker also noted that the property is conveniently located for exercise and nature enthusiasts who will appreciate the close proximity of the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail.
“The location is ideal for walkers, runners and cyclists, or just outdoor lovers who enjoy the tranquility of strolling along the trail listening to the sounds of nature,” Tucker remarked.
In addition, Quinnipiac University and Sleeping Giant State Park are just minutes from the front door. There is also a public golf course and driving range nearby, as well as a wealth of dining and shopping options.
