Situated on nearly half an acre in the historic East Berlin area of Berlin, Connecticut, this 1900 Victorian-style Colonial captures classic New England charm combined with modern entertaining space.
From its welcoming front porch and stained-glass foyer accents to a sunroom equipped with its own fireplace, the 2,037 sq ft layout balances period character with functional updates.
The main floor revolves around a generous open kitchen featuring butler/butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a central island.
French doors connect the dining room directly to the sunroom, creating a circular flow through the cozy living room and back to the front entry. Upstairs, three large bedrooms surround a full bath and a dedicated flex room leading to a full walk-up attic with expansion potential.
Outside, the property includes a covered back patio, a fully fenced garden area, manicured grounds, and a detached two-car garage.
