Welcome to this lovingly maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch in East Hartford, cared for by the same owner for the past 24 years. This home offers numerous updates and thoughtful improvements, making it a wonderful opportunity for a first-time buyer, downsizer, or anyone looking for a well-maintained home in a convenient location. Recent improvements include a new water heater, updated plumbing, updated electrical service to 100 amps, and a resealed driveway in 2026. In 2022, the home received a new roof, new siding, all new windows, a new front door and back door, and a renovated, insulated enclosed front porch/foyer. The kitchen door was replaced in 2017. The inviting enclosed side porch provides a comfortable space to enjoy throughout the seasons and leads into the eat-in kitchen, complete with a pantry for additional storage. The kitchen flows naturally into the living room and spacious foyer. Down the hallway are two bedrooms and a full bath. Outside, a detached one-car garage provides convenient parking, storage, or additional workspace. Located just around the corner from the Route 2 entrance, with easy access both east and west, this home offers convenient connections to destinations throughout Connecticut.
