About this home

There is something special about a classic Victorian in the heart of Waterbury, and this one has been part of the same family for more than 50 years. Set on a large, level lot outside the flood zone, the home is an easy walk to downtown shops, restaurants, schools, and community events. The generous front porch may quickly become a favorite spot perfect for morning coffee, catching up with neighbors, or having a front-row seat for Waterbury’s parade. Inside, the home is spacious, bright, and full of the character you hope to find in a house of this era. A mudroom welcomes you in, while the main level offers a large, light-filled living room, a cozy den with a wood stove, a galley kitchen, and an adjoining dining space. Two staircases add to the home’s classic layout and charm. Upstairs you’ll find three to four bedrooms and a large landing that makes a wonderful home office, reading nook, or creative space. The expansive attic offers another opportunity for someone with a vision to create additional finished living space. A detached two-car garage and plenty of flat yard add to the everyday practicality of the property. Residential and commercial zoning provides even more possibilities. Once home to a dentist office with living quarters above, the property is now a true single-family residence, with the flexibility to explore a residential/commercial combination again in the future. Well cared for, full of history, and wonderfully convenient, this is a home that has served one family for generations and is ready for its next chapter.
