New Milford CT Real Estate Happenings

Kent CT In town colonial for sale, 9 Elizabeth Street, Kent, CT.

Looks pretty good from the street, right? I cannot lie. This poor house is in desperate need of a renovation. When done it could be some special home for the right buyer. Set on Elizabeth Street in Kent, Connecticut, this 3 bedroom colonial sits on a very special lot. Not only is the house connected to town water and town sewer, (yes, even in the small town of Kent there are some lucky in town people who are connected to town water and town sewer), it is within walking distance to wonderful downtown Kent. Enjoy all that Kent has to offer, wonderful restaurants, fantastic shopping, art galleries and stores, the Kent Film Festival and more! Too many things to name.

Bring your contractor for this one. Please note, this is not a short sale or foreclosure. It is an unfortunate situation for the owner who has never lived here. Someone else did this....

Built in 1934, this colonial has seen better days. I am sure at one time it was a real gem, a prize for the owners. We hope that someone will buy it and restore it back to its grander days. The home is 1,651 square feet, has three bedrooms, one bath on the second floor, a missing bath on the first floor, and a full bath that might work in the basement.

Spring has arrived! The trees have a tinge of color to them where the buds are just starting to come out. The grass is turning green, you can smell spring in the air, finally. Good time to go out and work on the yard, or take a walk. Today I went to Bulls Bridge to take some pictures. It was sweatshirt weather, almost jacket weather too, but walking along the trails at a brisk pace helped. I only wish you could hear the thunder of the water as it rushed on by!

Take a trip over the covered bridge and walk on the trails. The Appalachian Trail wanders through here, so if the weathers right and you are heading south, Georgia is not out of the question! OK, so it is for me, however the trails are great to hike. Pack a lunch! There is also a canoe launch for those who prefer that mode of transportation. Whatever you decide to do, the magnificence of the Housatonic River as it races by is a sight to behold.

I used my Pentax K200d for these shots. These shots are HDR, which the camera does and is a bit different than most. Please enjoy!
