Property Description

Welcome to 471 Forbes Street in East Hartford-a well-cared-for home that blends thoughtful updates with everyday convenience. As soon as you walk into this home you will feel the warmth, with a large living room that greets you with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Completing the first floor is a dining room, kitchen, and a huge full bath with a conveniently closeted washer and dryer for easy, single-level living. Lovingly maintained by the same family for the past 8 years, this property offers peace of mind with major improvements already completed. The roof is just 5 years old and built to last with a 50-year lifespan, while the newer siding enhances both curb appeal and durability. Inside, you'll find efficient all-natural gas systems for heating, cooking, and hot water, along with a newer furnace and central air conditioning to keep you comfortable year-round. Upstairs, you'll find two generous bedrooms and another full bathroom, providing comfortable and functional living space. The home features a flexible layout, including a fully finished basement with approximately 500 additional square feet that can be used as a home office, guest bedroom, recreation area, or additional living room-offering great versatility for changing needs. The kitchen flows into a dedicated mudroom, ideal for keeping things organized, and opens to a dining room that could easily be converted into a first-floor bedroom if desired.
