Location and craftsmanship! This well built brick ranch in a wonderful area features curb appeal, space, efficiency and quality. Half an acre on pretty Round Hill Brook and an oversized (OWNED not leased!) 20 solar panel system are just some of the special features. Inside you'll find hardwood floors, fireplace and newer windows. The large tiled solarium is a favorite spot and the roomy 2 car garage adds convenience and storage. The heated lower level with walk out adds another 900 square feet of living space and is finished with tile, pine paneled walls and large open areas including built in bar. You have a full bath up and down. Laundry is on the lower level. On the sunny grounds you'll find pear trees, grapes, strawberries, mint, dill, scallions and more room to garden. A solid concrete block shed in back provides additional storage. There is a designated area for fire pit. The expansive yard is level and then gently slopes to the pretty brook which flows year round. There is no AC but you can add yourself and enjoy the over sized solar panel system which currently produces credit! The interior could use fresh paint and you can update the original kitchen and bath (if you prefer) but everything is working well as it is...a testament to the quality of construction! This home provides a lot of value in a wonderful spot central to all things Middletown (Downtown, Wesleyan, schools, parks, hospital) and easy access to Route 9.
