About this home

Positively charming 3 bedroom cape with welcoming front porch in a fabulous walk-to-train location. Brimming with one of a kind craftsman details, and newly refinished hardwood floors throughout the main level, this home is easy to love and easy to care for. A welcoming front porch opens to a cozy living room with fireplace and extensive custom woodwork. The first floor primary bedroom is freshly painted and boasts brand new wall to wall carpeting. The adjacent full bath is updated, clean and bright and includes marble tile finishes. The open family room with custom wainscoting leads to a convenient deck and access to the surprisingly private rear yard. This hub of the home is also open to the updated kitchen with abundant storage and plenty of room for meal prep and entertaining in the adjacent dining room. Upstairs there are two ample bedrooms with deep closets plus attic storage. Thermopane windows throughout the house for energy efficiency, a brand new electrical panel & newer mechanicals for worry free living. A happy and well loved home ready for someone to enjoy.

Recent comparable sales

The 5 closest recent sales to this home, nearest match first — same building where possible, then the surrounding streets, widening only when there is nothing closer. These are recorded sale prices from the MLS, not estimates. No automated valuation is shown, because what a home is worth depends on condition, layout and timing that a formula cannot see — call John at 203·883·3399 to read them properly against this home.

5 comparable sales — median $500,000, ranging $450,000 to $620,000.

Public record

From the Norwalk assessor's public property record. These figures describe the property as the town has it on file and can differ from the listing — a finished basement or an addition may not be reflected in the assessor's living area.
