Tucked away in the heart of Hamden, this charming Colonial is filled with warmth, character, and timeless appeal. Beautiful original hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by inviting spaces designed for comfortable everyday living. The cozy living room fireplace creates the perfect place to unwind, while the sun-filled enclosed porch with glass doors offers a peaceful setting for a home office, reading nook, or morning coffee retreat. The dining room opens to a bright kitchen with a dedicated prep area and wonderful potential to create a more open-concept layout, along with the possibility of adding a convenient main-level half bath. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and freshly painted ceiling, while two additional bedrooms provide comfortable and versatile living space. A walk-up attic adds easy-access storage and future possibilities. Outside, the generous yard invites gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The detached garage has been thoughtfully updated with a newer roof and side door, and additional improvements include newer windows and an updated bathroom. Ideally located within walking distance to DeNicola Park and Lake Whitney, this home offers a lovely blend of classic charm, comfort, and opportunity. Back on Market.
