Tucked in Norwalk's Broad River neighborhood, this distinctive single-family home offers the charm of a ski chalet with the convenience of an in-town location. Soaring vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light define the main living space, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. The recently updated kitchen features white quartz countertops and new stainless steel appliances, blending modern finishes with the home's warm character. The flexible layout includes a loft area with a private balcony, previously used as a sleeping space, while the home is town-designated as a one-bedroom. A finished walkout lower level adds valuable versatility, ideal for a home office, guest space, or alternative sleeping area. Enjoy peaceful views of Broad River Park just across the street, offering a sense of openness rarely found at this price point. A private driveway and rear patio provide added convenience and outdoor enjoyment. Ideally located near shopping, dining, I-95, and the South Norwalk train station. A rare opportunity to own a unique single-family home as a true alternative to condominium living-offering privacy, independence, and no HOA fees.
