One-of-a-Kind Mid-Century Retreat on 8 Acres in Meriden Tucked away on 8 picturesque acres, backing up to the Middlefield town line, this one-of-a-kind mid-century modern home offers space, character, and unlimited potential. With over 3,200 square feet of living space, three fireplaces, and a great room built for entertaining, this property is brimming with charm. Mid-century modern accents add style throughout, while hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpets offer an easy opportunity to restore timeless beauty. This home does need cosmetic renovations, making it an exciting opportunity to personalize and add value. With 3-4 bedrooms, a detached two-car garage, and efficient natural gas heating, this home is designed for both comfort and functionality. The spacious patio is perfect for enjoying the peaceful, partially wooded landscape, while the potentially subdividable acreage opens doors for future investment or development. A true highlight is the serene backyard garden, complete with running water, offering a tranquil space to unwind or cultivate your own personal oasis. Despite its serene setting, the property offers easy highway access, making commuting simple while still enjoying the privacy of this expansive retreat. Whether you're looking for a stunning escape or an investment-ready opportunity, after 3 generations, this rare gem in Meriden is waiting for it's next chapter!
