Rarely does a home blend historic character, creative energy & walkable in-town living so effortlessly. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped corner lot just moments from Wesleyan University, vibrant downtown Middletown & the Connecticut River waterfront, this thoughtfully updated early-1900s home offers warmth, flexibility & timeless appeal. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths & a versatile third-floor studio, the flexible layout is ideal for an artist's retreat, home office, guest suite or creative sanctuary. Original character shines throughout with exposed brick, custom built-ins & abundant natural light. The updated kitchen features a Viking 6-burner range & opens seamlessly to the living & dining areas, creating an inviting space for everyday living & entertaining. Significant updates include newer windows, roof & a tankless hot water heater, while the classic brownstone foundation reflects the home's enduring craftsmanship. Outside, enjoy the charm of your own private city homestead with mature perennial gardens, window boxes, a fenced corner lot, dedicated garden beds, a welcoming back porch & even a chicken coop. A detached garage with bonus studio space offers endless possibilities for hobbies, a workshop or additional workspace. Just a short stroll to downtown restaurants, shops, local schools, parks & the riverfront, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of historic charm, modern comfort & an unbeatable in-town lifestyle.
