Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Waterbury along picturesque, tree-lined Polk Boulevard, this charming 3-bedroom bungalow blends timeless character with modern updates. Richly refinished hardwood floors, original oak woodwork, and a striking fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Just beyond the living room, a sun-filled study or music room offers the perfect retreat with expansive windows and abundant natural light.
The formal dining room showcases a beautiful built-in buffet with glass-front cabinetry, while the updated kitchen features tile flooring, quartz countertops, and a distinctive red tile backsplash. The renovated bath impresses with a spacious walk-in shower, quartz vanity, and iridescent tile accents.
Two generously sized bedrooms complete the main level, while the upper level offers a spacious third bedroom filled with natural light. Outside, enjoy a large deck ideal for entertaining, a detached two-car garage, and thoughtfully landscaped gardens featuring native plantings.
Major improvements include updated roof, furnace, air conditioning, siding, water service line, sewer line, electrical system, and concrete work, providing exceptional peace of mind. This beautifully updated Waterbury classic offers a rare opportunity to own a home in one of the city's most desirable and established neighborhoods.
