One-of-a-Kind Mid-Century Retreat on 8 Acres in Meriden Tucked away on 8 picturesque acres, backing up to the Middlefield town line, this one-of-a-kind mid-century modern home offers space, character, and unlimited potential. With over 3,200 square feet of living space, three fireplaces, and a great room built for entertaining, this property is brimming with charm. Mid-century modern accents add style throughout, while hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpets offer an easy opportunity to restore timeless beauty.
