Very well maintained, this romantic stucco and cedar shingle Colonial is located in the heart of East Rock, equidistant to downtown and East Rock Park. This house is set back from the street, surrounded by mature plantings, with a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced-in garden. A vestibule leads to the front foyer with a cozy sitting room / den. Large, south-facing Living and Dining Rooms span the entire back of the house, overlooking the gardens. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the first floor bring in ample natural light. Easy access from the Living Room to the back deck and a large pergola, perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. Remodeled eat-in kitchen with LaCanache oven/range, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and custom cabinetry is a delight for a chef or a casual cook. The second floor has 4 well sized bedrooms, and 2 full baths, one within the primary bedroom suite that overlooks the back yard. The third floor would be perfect for an in-law suite or an au pair, with large 2 bedrooms, or a bedroom, a family room, and a full bathroom. Several windows have been replaced with thermalpane windows. Updated mechanicals: on demand water heater, 200 Amp electric service, direct venting warm air system, and central air conditioning.
