    Homes like this rarely come available in Waterbury. Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully updated throughout, this beautifully maintained, move-in ready two-story blends timeless design with modern comfort. Original hardwood floors, classic trim, and a newly installed gas fireplace with antique surround create a warm and inviting main living space. The updated kitchen offers new cabinetry, granite countertops, custom tile flooring and backsplash, and vintage lighting that adds warmth and personality. Just off the living area, the main-level office features striking French doors sourced from West End Architectural Salvage, originally from the historic Hotel Fort Des Moines—bringing a unique piece of local history into the home. Additional improvements include professionally refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, updated lighting and numerous thoughtful updates throughout. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard offers mature trees, a large paver patio, deck, fenced yard, and invisible dog fence. Oversized detached garage with additional storage. A rare opportunity in one of Waterbury’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
