    What's special

    Classic period architecture meets opportunity here, offering a home that is livable today with clear upside for its next owner. Being sold as-is, the property reflects deferred maintenance and needed improvements, but provides a strong foundation to build equity through thoughtful updates. Inside, the craftsmanship stands out immediately. Original hardwood floors offer a durable, refinishable surface, while detailed woodwork-featuring pedimented crown molding over doors and windows, fluted pilasters, and a coffered-style dining room ceiling-adds architectural depth rarely found in today's construction. A butler's pantry enhances both function and charm, creating additional storage and a natural transition between the kitchen and the dining area. Outside, it's more than a box! Stucco exterior with thick-coat finish; hip roof with broad overhangs; front-facing shed dormer adding upper-level light and headroom; prominent masonry chimney (needs attention); covered entry portico with curved brackets and classical trim; raised brick entry steps and foundation accents; multi-pane windows set in original openings with substantial wood casing; symmetrical front elevation; bay window projection at the main level; detailed exterior wood trim consistent with period construction. The layout offers defined living spaces, allowing flexibility for everyday living, entertaining, or work-from-home use. Two upper-level bedrooms are works in progress, and the bathroom requires plumbing work The property is being sold strictly as-is. Seller will make no repairs or concessions. Buyers are encouraged to conduct all inspections for informational purposes. Home is currently livable; however, deferred maintenance is present and should be expected. Two upper-level bedrooms and common areas are works in progress, but are quickly usable. The bathroom is not functional until the plumbing is assessed and repaired. A new Navien wall-mounted modulating boiler provides efficient heat and on-demand hot water. This is not a turnkey property. Notable interior architectural features include original hardwood flooring, extensive period woodwork, pedimented crown molding over doors and windows, fluted pilasters, and a coffered-style dining room ceiling-details that contribute to the home's character. Features too costly to replicate in modern construction. The Butler's pantry provides added storage and functional space, providing a nice transition between the kitchen and dining areas. The Exterior condition is generally stable, with historic design elements that contribute to curb appeal and long-term architectural value. This location offers convenient access to major commuting routes, including I-84 and Route 8, with proximity to shopping, dining, parks, and local services. Waterbury continues to benefit from ongoing investment and revitalization, supporting long-term potential.
