81 Southwood Rd

This 1948 Hanbury Colonial is brimming with warmth, charm and character. Owned and loved by one family for over 47 years, this home is located in one of Newington's most picturesque neighborhoods. It's an easy walk or bike ride to Newington town center or the library. The classic fireplaced living room has built-in bookshelves and is open to the dining room. You can enjoy entertaining in the more formal dining room with two lovely built-in corner hutches or enjoy more casual meals in the kitchen which has updated cabinetry. Just a step down from the dining room is the sunroom where you can curl up with a good book during the warmer months of the year or step out to your patio and enjoy the privacy of your yard. This home has 3 bedrooms on the upper level plus a 4th room that could be a study or another bedroom. Good bones and sturdy construction provide a strong foundation for your personal touch. The hardwood floors are in great condition and there are replacement windows throughout. The roof was stripped and replaced in 2011 and the boiler has been updated as well.
