Welcome to this updated, energy-efficient home, located just minutes from Wesleyan University, downtown Middletown, restaurants, shopping, and the riverfront. With solar panels, a newer kitchen, and a surprisingly deep backyard, this property blends convenience, modern comfort, and value. The first floor offers a bright living room with hardwood floors, a large eat-in kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless appliances, ample counter space, and first-floor laundry, plus a generously sized primary bedroom suite for desirable one-level living. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with great natural light, and the clean, divided basement provides excellent storage and workshop potential. Outside, the deep lot offers rare usable yard space-ideal for pets, gardening, entertaining, or future expansion-along with a storage shed and off-street parking. Move-in ready with low utility costs thanks to solar, this home is a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a centrally located home with updates and charm.
