Perfect condo alternative with gorgeous curb appeal! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch is ready to be brought back to life and offers a wonderful opportunity to restore, renovate, or reimagine a home that was truly stunning in its day. A spacious enclosed front porch adds approximately 120 square feet of relaxing space beyond the home's 1,188 square feet. From the foyer, enter the formal living room with hardwood flooring beneath the carpet. Both bedrooms are conveniently located off the living room and also offer hardwood beneath the carpeting. The quaint kitchen opens to the dining room, which flows into an expansive family/great room featuring a wood-burning fireplace and three walls of glass sliders - amazing natural light! Step outside onto the upper-level deck overlooking the fenced rear yard. An under-deck carport and plenty of off-street parking add convenience. The walk-out lower level was finished years ago and includes washer/dryer hookups and a cedar closet. Situated on a deep double parcel, this property offers endless possibilities - update the existing layout, reconfigure the space, or explore adding a second floor. Conveniently located within walking distance of the VA Hospital, bus lines, the University of New Haven, and more. The inground pool has not been opened in years. Home is being sold AS-IS.
