57 Stuart DriveSouthington, CT 06489Price: $499,000

From the curb, 57 Stuart Drive is a classic New England Colonial. Step inside and follow the hardwood floors through the formal living and dining rooms, past the kitchen with Corian countertops, and into the oversized family room at the back of the house. It's the kind of room everyone ends up in, whether you're hosting the holidays or settling in for a quiet Sunday. The backyard is just as inviting. A brand-new paver patio has room for dinner under the pergola, a grill, and a separate spot to lounge. Beyond it, the lawn is level, fully fenced, and served by seven-zone irrigation. There's a 12-by-16 shed for yard gear and generous walk-up storage above the two-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, a beautifully remodeled full bath, and a separate room that's just right for an office, nursery, or future upstairs laundry. The home offers 1.5 baths and 2,062 square feet above grade, plus a finished lower level with room for a movie setup, a home gym, or both. There's substance behind the curb appeal, too. The mini-split system installed in August 2026 provides both heat and air conditioning. Solar panels installed in 2023 help offset electricity use, and the 2023 electrical panel upgrade and 2019 boiler round out the major improvements. From fires in the wood-burning fireplace to long summer evenings on the patio, this is a home you'll enjoy in every season.
