    What's special

    Super-cute vintage 1830 Greek Revival right in the heart of Westville Village - steps from shops, restaurants, Mitchell Library, Edgewood Park, West Rock State Park, and much more. Minutes from Yale, SCSU, UNH, and Route 15. Lovely original woodwork plus 3 antique fireplaces (now decorative only). Tons of great updates: 2011 Lifetime Interlock metal/membrane roof system with 50-year transferrable warranty, 2011 deck with views of West Rock, 2013 insulated siding, 2018 new gutters w/gutter guards, 2020 95% efficient Bosch natural gas furnace with tankless coil hot water heater, plus other electrical and plumbing updates. In addition, a full Connecticut Basement lower level remediation system including curtain drains, sump pump with back-up battery & alarm, Tyvek moisture barrier & more - since the system was installed seller hasn't seen a drop of moisture downstairs, which opens up that whole level as potential additional finished space. Move in as-is or change cosmetics to your tastes, but the "heavy lifting" has been done - inside the historic shell, this is a modern house! 1st floor has galley kitchen plus eating area, central living room, half bath, laundry, and two additional rooms to use as dining room, bedrooms, home office, or....? Upstairs are two more bedrooms + full bath. Backyard is fully fenced - and surprisingly large for such a convenient, central location. Come see how to make this wonderfully updated historic house your new home! There are also some uneven floors in this 1830 home - we should all look so good almost 200 years later! Seller had a structural expert in who determined it was normal age-related settling and not likely to move further, though of course and as always buyers are encouraged to have their own inspection. Structural expert stated it should be fairly straightforward to re-level floors if desired for comfort/cosmetic reasons. Quotes on this can be provided as needed.
