30 State Street

There's something refreshing about a home that still has character, and this classic Norwalk residence delivers it from the moment you reach the broad, welcoming front porch. Inside, approximately 1,810 square feet unfold with the warmth and personality you hope to find in an older home. Original-style woodwork, substantial trim, French doors and graceful arched openings give the interior a sense of craftsmanship that newer homes often try to recreate. The living room centers around a brick fireplace, creating a natural place to settle in, while adjoining rooms offer flexibility for dining, relaxing, working from home or creating a favorite reading spot. The kitchen keeps things practical with generous cabinetry, a gas range and dishwasher, while the home's enclosed porch spaces add even more room to enjoy throughout the seasons. Upstairs continues the home's comfortable, traditional layout, and the basement provides useful storage and utility space. Then there's a feature that's increasingly hard to find: a substantial detached three-car garage. Whether you need room for vehicles, hobbies, tools or weekend projects, this is space you'll appreciate every day. The backyard offers a pleasant stretch of green between the house and garage, framed by mature landscaping. The location puts you close to the heart of Norwalk, with downtown conveniences, the public library, recreation and city parks nearby. Norwalk's park system includes everything from trails and playgrounds to pickleball, a splash pad and reservoir recreation. This isn't a cookie-cutter house. It's a home with history, useful space, a great porch and the kind of everyday character that makes you want to stay awhile.
