Step into the character and charm of this classic farmhouse-style Colonial at 117 Greenwoods Road E in Norfolk, where timeless details meet an exciting opportunity to complete the home's transformation and make it your own. Set on a .62-acre lot, this 4 bedroom, 1 bath home offers high ceilings, hardwood flooring throughout much of the home, generous room sizes, and the kind of character that is hard to recreate. Renovations have already been started, with substantial improvements completed along the way, including the removal of the home's original plaster and installation of drywall, removal of knob-and-tube wiring, an updated 200-amp electrical panel, mineral wool insulation, foundation patching, and the addition of a new glulam beam with concrete-filled steel columns and footings. More recent improvements include exterior paint in 2022 and a new roof in 2023. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of room to create a gathering space that fits your vision and features an updated kitchen floor along with a gas line for the oven. Just beyond, the living room is anchored by a fireplace with a propane insert, with a new propane tank and gas line installed in 2023, creating a cozy centerpiece for the home. The large dining area, beautiful hardwood floors, and tall ceilings continue the home's classic farmhouse feel, while 4 bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility.
There is even more opportunity above, where the walk-up attic offers the potential to be finished into additional living space, whether envisioned as a home office, studio, bonus room, or retreat. Adding even more versatility to the property is a workshop located above the 2 car garage, offering a tucked-away space perfect for projects, hobbies, woodworking, or simply having room to create and make it your own. Outside, the wraparound porch is exactly what you hope to find on a home like this-a peaceful spot to sit back and enjoy the surrounding New England scenery. The property also includes a two-car attached garage and plenty of yard space to enjoy. Located in scenic Norfolk, you'll be surrounded by everything that makes the Litchfield Hills special, with Haystack Mountain State Park, Campbell Falls State Park, Norfolk Library, the Norfolk Historic District, Infinity Music Hall and the renowned Norfolk Chamber Music Festival all nearby. With many of the home's important infrastructure improvements already completed, the next owner has an incredible opportunity to take what has been started, add their own finishing touches, and bring their vision for this character-filled Norfolk farmhouse to life.
Excellent opportunity to own a wonderful & roomy home in the center of Norfolk. This home has been in the same family since 1959. There are 4 BRs and 1.5 BA, a nicely proportioned Kitchen with a pantry and a great, old tin ceiling ready to be restored, a separate DR, a Living Room with Fireplace, a FR/study with a sunny bow window and a large entry foyer. There is opportunity to fully finish the 3rd floor into a great space for more bedrooms, an office or whatever fun things you dream up. The attached 2 car gar has sunny, unfinished space above which is accessed by a stairwell in the garage. There are wood floors, plaster walls, replacement windows on the first and second floors and several of the rooms and the front porch have been remodeled. The home is set on a nice level & quite private, +-.62 acre lot with a pretty stone wall in the back. Just across the street is Botelle Elementary School with a town playground, basketball court, tennis courts, soccer and playing fields, and direct access to a huge tract of protected Land Trust land with hiking trails. Norfolk is a friendly, close knit and welcoming community that is home to a summer farmer's market, a very special town swimming pond for residents (Tobey Pond), the Yale Summer School of Music, Infinity Hall, an amazing library, eateries, 3 state parks, loads of hiking trails, etc. A building inspection was recently done by the owners and can be made available to interested parties.
