About 5617 Grand Ave
It's Grand to live on Grand! I'm a Dutch Colonial home on the edge of the prestigious Waterbury neighborhood and have stood the test of time for nearly a century. Having undergone an extensive and amazing overhaul in 2019 and 2020, I feel like new but have the charm and character of a historic home. With 3 bedrooms, one and a half baths, my updates have included several things: roof, gutters, windows, siding, furnace, AC, water heater, updated electric panel and plumbing, a new oversized 2-car garage, new driveway and a completely updated interior with new hardwood flooring, kitchen and bath on the main floor. Convenient location--with easy access to interstate, dining, shopping you can be anywhere in a matter of minutes! Hannawalt, Merrill, and Roosevelt schools.
