Description
Welcome home to 724 54th Street, a timeless brick beauty nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of historic Waterbury. There's something truly special about this beloved neighborhood, where mature trees, classic architecture, and charming streets create a sense of place that's hard to find. Step inside and fall in love with the stunning staircase, rich hardwood floors, and the unforgettable character of the 1920s, including coved ceilings, graceful archways, and gorgeous built-in bookcases. The show stopping living room fireplace anchors a space filled with warmth and natural light. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and beautifully preserved tiled bathrooms full of vintage charm. The finished lower level offers additional living space, laundry, and an extra shower for added convenience. Outside, enjoy peaceful summer evenings beneath the canopy of mature trees in the private backyard. This is more than a home — it's an opportunity to own a piece of Waterbury history.
