    What's special

    Walk-out deckAbundant natural light throughoutAttached storage shedFamily roomWalk out finished basementNewly renovated half bathThree bedrooms
    Nestled in the heart of downtown New Canaan, this charming and beautifully updated colonial offers the perfect blend of character and convenience. The home features three levels of finished living space, including a stunning open-concept kitchen, dining area, and family room. This centerpiece of the home is thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with abundant natural light throughout. A newly renovated half bath and a walk-out deck complete the main level.The second floor offers three bedrooms and a full bath, while the walk out finished basement provides an ideal space for a playroom, home office, or gym. Outside, you will find a fully fenced private backyard, a deck for outdoor entertaining, and an attached storage shed. The combination of charm, functionality, and prime location make 218 Summer Street a must-see. Because of strong interest in 218 Summer St., the sellers are requesting that all offers be submitted by 3:00 PM on Monday, June 15th. The sellers prefer a July 30th closing date. A two-week leaseback from July 30th to August 13th would be optimal, though it's not essential. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Kim
