    What's special

    Welcome to Waterbury. Arguably the most charming + timeless neighborhood in the metro. It's a quiet and quaint location, kind of like stepping back in time to a slower more peaceful era. Porches with lemonade, strolls with friends; the community spirit is strong and prideful and so apparent. If you haven't been to this pocket of homes from Polk Blvd to 63rd/Grand, you need to come see what makes Waterbury sought-after. Here, atop a prime corner of the neighborhood sits 5838 Harwood, a remarkable colonial home. Enjoy the commanding elevation, the picturesque private backyard, all just a block from Waveland Trails. Inside, the main floor holds a bedroom, kitchen, sunroom-library, dining room, 1/2 bath and a living room with fireplace. Beautiful hardwood flooring throughout. Upstairs: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and access to the rooftop patio with southern exposure. Basement is partially finished with an additional family room/flex space and an attached tandem 2 car garage. Oversized driveway with lovely stone-landscaped surround is perfect for hosting BBQ's or parking for 4+. Roof new in 2018, HVAC new 2017, electrical 2008; Seller added a sump pump and installed a radon mitigation system as well. 2 minutes to interstate, swift access to downtown or nearby parks and shopping. Elevate your living in this historic property and one-of-a-kind location. 4 bedroom home offered at $470,000.
