Charming, oversized, classic cape on quiet corner lot. Tons of room for everyone to work, study, play or entertain --inside and out. Neat as a pin, this lovely home has a large, bright eat-in kitchen, formal living and dining rooms and den all on the first floor. A couple of steps down to a beautiful paneled library that leads to your primary bedroom and full bath. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and another full bath. Large level back yard with patio is perfect for fun and games, and the large storage shed can house tools or toys. Centrally located in Orange, convenient to shopping on Rt 1 or 34 and just a quick hop to Rt15 and all that South Central Connecticut, the Tri-State area, and New England have to offer. Part of the award winning Amity School System. BTW - that isn't a garage, it only plays one on TV. It's actually a really cute den in disguise!
