Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from December 16, 2021
Welcome to a charming, classic Colonial style 3 – 4 bedroom home, in the Bettswood section of East Norwalk. This wonderful home is delightful any time of the year, as you relax in front of a cozy, warm fire glowing in the colder months or sitting on the airy enclosed porch in the spring, summer and fall. The living room leads to a bright family room perfect for watching TV, a playroom or a first floor office. Upstairs, 3 good sized bedrooms offer great private space. Town records note a 4th bedroom but the layout makes a wonderful office or dressing room outside the master bedroom. An added benefit is a large room in the lower level, perfect as an office, exercise space or playroom, meeting the needs of today's work-from-home lifestyle. New appliances, quartz countertops and floor in the kitchen make meal prep time a pleasure. The enclosed porch invites you to spend time outside, enjoying your private, level backyard. Numerous upgrades are included; hardwood floors (refinished 5 years ago) run throughout most rooms on the first and second floor, new heating and AC system, freshly paint. The house also has city water and sewer. Located in a quiet neighborhood, you can walk to concerts at the City Hall Concert Center, walk to the East Norwalk train, have easy access to I-95, the new SONO Mall, Stew Leonard’s and numerous other shopping opportunities.and numerous other shopping opportunities.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is in the 1st grade at Naramake and we have had the most amazing experience! The teachers are warm, compassionate and truly have a passion for what they do. I've seen my son thrive in the short time he has been there. Also, the families we have met there are amazing--involved, supportive, fun. My daughter will start kindergarten in the Fall and we couldn't be happierParent Review5y ago - Nathan Hale Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe 21-22 school year was really rough, to say the least. It really felt like there was a fight each day and the punishments for the fights were really weak. Sometimes there would big fights and the person who started the fights would be back 2 days later starting fights again. Teachers were sending students to I.S.S (in school suspension) almost all the time. The I.S.S teacher, really doesn't care about anything and students took it more of skipping class than an actual punishment. Due to all of this, the teachers morals really dropped and you can really tell. Don't even get me started when the teachers were absent. One time, the substitute teacher sent over half of the class to security (not even joking) and sometimes the security just sends the students back to the class after like 10 minutes. So after 10 minutes all the bad kids are back in class. I hope next year will be better.Student Review1y ago - Norwalk High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageJust recently graduated in 2023, I had a good overall experience at Norwalk being very engaged in sports (Golf and Baseball Teams) and social events. At a school like Norwalk there’s definitely a mix of good and bad things and people which is why you need to surround yourself with good groups of people. Teachers really care and if you are a good student they are always willing to give you that extra push to get a better grade. Despite some low ratings the school teachers and staff do a really good job giving plenty of opportunities to help you succeed however these rating come from kids who decide to not take those opportunities. Be involved and surround yourself with good people and Norwalk High can be a really nice place to be.Other Review7mo ago
