With a great layout and fenced-yard, this 1-owner Hamden home is centrally-located with many nice features that truly make it "home". The large living room with a big picture window has hardwood floors and flows seamlessly between the dining room and kitchen. There is room for everyone to enjoy family game night, holiday celebrations, and watching the big game. The adjacent dining room is light-filled and offers backyard views. The kitchen provides re-faced kitchen cabinetry, good storage space, and a convenient pantry closet. And just step out through the patio door to the spacious back deck for BBQ'ing and warm-weather dining.

The full bath services both bedrooms. The lower level offers the flex space you need for a rec room, office, or possible third bedroom. A regular door provides exterior access to the side yard. A mechanicals room and laundry/half bath complete this level. The laundry room offers access to the crawl space under the main living area for additional storage, and the oil tank location. 1-car garage. Central Air. City water & sewer.
