Coastal Living, Commuter Convenience, So Much to Enjoy! Custom built in 1960 and treasured by the same family ever since, this is the kind of home buyers rarely find today: solid, spacious and full of character. The original owner, a highly regarded custom cabinetmaker, created the cabinetry, millwork and extensive built ins found throughout this lovely home. Fresh interior paint and beautifully refinished main level hardwood floors immediately brighten the home, with hardwood continuing upstairs and new flooring in the oversized eat in kitchen and sunroom. A welcoming foyer opens to the living room with a handsome brick hearth wall and wood burning fireplace. The sun filled kitchen is ready for your next feast and lasting memories, while the sunroom and breakfast area invite you to sit ba ck and enjoy the view. Two main level bedrooms and a full bath offer flexibility for guests, work from home or one level living. Upstairs, two more bedrooms each offer three closets and walls of built ins, plus a full bath and a private hallway to a large semi-finished attic room with even more closet space and possibilities for crafts, gaming, guests or play. Heated unfinished basement offers high ceilings and over 1,000 square feet of future potential. The generous level yard has room to play, garden, entertain and explore future expansion possibilities. Updated roof, windows, siding, boiler, plus a 2024 sunroom roof, add value. Quick access to Merritt Parkway, Route 7 Connector and I 95. One of the great advantages of living in Norwalk is having the best of both worlds: convenient access for commuting while enjoying all that a coastal community on Long Island Sound has to offer. Norwalk's waterfront lifestyle includes marinas, yacht and boat clubs, public boat launches and miles of shoreline recreation. Just offshore, the Norwalk Islands are one of the city's true treasures, offering a beautiful setting for boating, kayaking, fishing and exploring the Sound. Seasonal excursions also provide access to Sheffield Island and its historic light house. Calf Pasture Beach and Shady Beach offer approximately three quarters of a mile of scenic coastline along with a sailing school, fishing pier, kayak storage, playgrounds, sports courts, picnic areas and waterfront recreation. Veterans Memorial Park and Marina add another 35 acres along Norwalk Harbor with a marina, boat launch, visitor docks and a waterfront esplanade. The heart of SoNo brings together historic Washington Street, the waterfront, shopping, restaurants, cafes, entertainment and nightlife. Norwalk's dining scene extends well beyond SoNo, with an impressive variety of restaurants throughout the city ranging from casual neighborhood favorites and waterfront seafood to more sophisticated dining. Nearby, The SoNo Collection adds shopping and dining. For those who enjoy walking, running or biking, one of the Norwalk River Valley Trail access points is approximately 2.5 miles away from the house. The Norwalk section of the trail connects Broad Street with the waterfront and continues through destinations including Oyster Shell Park, the Maritime Aquarium and Calf Pasture Beach. Cranbury Park is only approximately 2 to 2.5 miles away from the house depending upon the entrance used to enter, it offers 227 acres of wooded trails where dogs are welcome, a dog friendly orchard, playgrounds, open lawns, an 18-hole disc golf course and the historic Gallaher Mansion and gardens. Commuters - 17 Driftwood Lane is approximately 2 miles to the Merrit Parkway, 2.5 miles to the Route 7 Connector, 4.5 miles to I 95, East Norwalk Metro North station, 5 miles to the South Norwalk Metro North station. At 17 Driftwood Lane, Norwalk CT, just think of the possibilities, the fun to be had, and maybe even a little extra time to sleep in when so much of what you need and love is right nearby.
