This cape on Delaware Drive in Stratford CT is a keeper. This is a very nicely proportioned cape with an immaculate looking yard.

You’re looking at about 1650 square feet here with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There’s a formal dining room and it looks like some living area in the basement. Throw in a two car garage and you have my ideal house.

There’s even an oval shaped pool. Looks like it’s pretty big from the pictures as well.

What I like most about this house on Delaware Drive is the fact that it needs some updating. It’s definitely move in condition but your not paying top dollar for a completely remodeled home. Bring 60 Delaware Drive out of the eighties and into the twenty first century and you’ve added instant equity.

The overgrown hedges out front are also detracting from just house nice this house looks from the outside. A little landscaping will go a long way here.

Check out the pictures. I think you’ll like what you see.

I’m not exactly sure where on Broad Street in Stratford this house is but I love it. I must have driven past it hundreds of times. How could I have missed this house?

You don’t see many home like this that are still in such great shape. This tudor has history, class, and charm all wrapped up into a neat little package.

Six fireplace! Are you kidding me! I would love that! I don’t think I have ever used so many exclamation marks in a paragraph before.

It looks like there may be a tin ceiling in the kitchen. Probably not original though as there is recessed lighting.

From the pictures it looks to me like there has been extensive renovations to restore this house. I think a lot of the original details are no longer there but the homeowner did a wonderful job restoring the home to honor the original construction.

Check it out for yourself. Here’s the link:

This colonial on Norman Circle in Stratford CT caught my eye this morning. It’s a very nice looking four bedroom with a real master bedroom and walk in closet. Lots of room to spread out for a big family here at just under 2200 s.f. You probably wont have to stand in line for a bathroom either with two full bathrooms and a half bath to boot.

I like this house! I really do. It’s a modest house here in Stratford CT.

Summer Street is in a nice neighborhood here in Stratford. I actually live just a couple blocks away. When my sister was looking to buy a house in Stratford we looked at nearly every house for sale in that area. We became intimately familiar with the neighborhood.

I like the one car garage and the green accent wall at the fireplace.The tile surround is a really nice touch. The intricately detailed mantel also looks great in picture.

I look at lots of homes for sale in Stratford every day. With my background in architecture I can be a little particular of what constitutes a nice house. I see homes for sale all the time that are terribly proportioned and just look like a train wreck. This colonial on Nichols Avenue (CT Route 108) is not one of them.

This colonial is nicely proportioned and in my opinion, needs the perfect amount of updating. Not much is new but nothing is old. Everything appears to be in great shape! It’s the type of house you can move into right away and update things to your liking when you are ready.

There’s a nice house in the North End of Stratford that is for sale on Clifflawn Road. It’s a nice McNeil colonial with some features that I really like. Other than good curb appeal it has a garage and a fireplace. Two of my favorite features here in a home in Stratford.

A first floor laundry room is also an added bonus as well as the one and a half bedrooms. The school district is a desirable one that includes: Eli Whitney Elementary School, Flood Middle School, and Bunnell High School.
