Classic Colonial style meets a strong lineup of modern updates in this East Side Meriden home. Inside 81 Lydale Place you'll find nearly 1900 sq. ft. of living space, hardwood floors carry throughout, a gas fireplace anchors the living room, and the kitchen was completely remodeled in 2023 from top to bottom with new cabinets, flooring, countertops, island, black stainless steel appliances and more. There's plenty of living space with 3 large bedrooms and 2 full baths, a den/office/study as well as a floored walk-up attic with heating and cooling duct that provides additional storage and/or usable living space. Natural gas heat and central air provide year-round comfort. Updates continue with a new roof in 2025, new windows in 2021, furnace, central air, condenser and insulation in 2016, and a new washer and dryer in 2025. Step outside from the kitchen to an upper deck, then follow the staircase to a lower deck surrounding the above-ground pool (new in 2022), gazebo, outdoor shower and tiki bar, creating a private outdoor retreat for relaxing and entertaining. A shed adds valuable storage, and the spacious backyard offers even more room to enjoy the outdoors. The home is also generator-ready and includes two garages plus driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Built in 1937, it offers the updates, outdoor space and features that make it feel much newer. ** BEST & FINAL OFFERS DUE BY 6PM, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH**
