Live Like You’re on Vacation — 8979 Golden Valley Drive, Norwalk! Tucked into the heart of Norwalk’s coveted Lakewood Village, this fully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers over 1,800 square feet of beautifully finished living space—blending modern comfort with the serenity of lakeside living. Perched on a corner lot just across from private Lake Colchester, this home invites you to start and end your days with calm water views and the hum of nature. Step inside to find an open layout with warm wood-toned LVP flooring, updated trim, and stylish, modern finishes throughout. The kitchen stuns with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous cabinet and counter space—designed for everyday ease and entertaining alike. Two large living areas (one up, one down) give you flexible space to gather or unwind, and both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled, featuring dual sinks and a tiled shower/tub combo. The back patio is ideal for winding down after a day on the water, while the home’s curb appeal is boosted by charming window boxes, a double driveway, and an attached garage.
