31 Thayer Avenue, Canton, CT 06019

COLLINSVILLE! Long-time owner is sad to go but must leave after nearly 50 years of loving life in this peaceful old-Canton neighborhood filled with walkers that know each other's names. Bring your decorating ideas and a little can-do energy to this practical ranch set on a level, sunny lot perfect for gardening and serviced by public water & sewer. Hardwood floors throughout, except for kitchen & bath. New owner will want to make updates but it's livable "as-is" and the owner has made many investments in recent years: Anderson Thermopane replacement windows installed ~ 2017, 200-amp electrical panel 2011, bulkhead doors 2023, oil tank 2021, driveway 2023, roof: part ~2010 & part ~2020. There is an old, capped well in the back yard: perhaps a great base for a raised-bed garden the bunnies can't reach and your back won't complain about, haha! Terrific LOCATION: hike up Atwater Rd for endurance or walk to the Rails-to-Trails access around the corner! Stroll down Thayer and you're on the cusp of downtown Collinsville, the envy of tiny-town living in the state, with phenomenal kayaking on the Farmington River. Walk to great independent restaurants such as LaSalle Market and The Crown & Hammer, shop at local businesses, buy fresh produce and enjoy live music at the Sunday farm market, have fun at the whacky annual Halloween parade & charming Christmas-in-Collinsville events! Why rent when you can own? Roll up your sleeves - your investment in this home will be worth it! The owner paid handsomely to have a giant hedge removed from the front of the property, bordering the street: it was about 6' tall by 4' wide by 70' long and filled with a lot of "volunteers!" New owner can ask the folks across the street how they handled the re-introduction of grass where their hedge was or can start a new hedge.
