A beautiful brick two family tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, a little oasis in Bridgeport. Some properties announce themselves. This one waits until you turn onto the street. The cul-de-sac dead-ends, there is no through traffic, and the house sits back on 7,840 sq ft of level, open land, a lot roughly 55% larger than the two-family sales that closed nearby this summer, and nothing like the narrow slivers most of them sit on. Room for a garden, a patio, a swing set, or simply room. Step inside and the difference continues. The interior has been completely renovated: new electrical, new plumbing, updated kitchens, and improvements carried throughout the property. This is not a cosmetic refresh layered over tired bones. The systems are done. Then there is the basement, and it may be the most underrated square footage in the listing. A large walk-in basement of approximately 1,100 sq ft runs under the entire footprint, more usable lower level than many of the surrounding two-families have anywhere. Today it serves beautifully as storage, laundry and workshop space. It also holds genuine potential to be finished. The details that matter: brick exterior, gable roof, forced air gas heat, central air. 1,620 sq ft of living area across two units, 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths total. Separate gas and electric meters for each unit, so occupants carry their own utilities and the owner pays water only. Off-street parking. Flood Zone X, so no flood insurance requirement. What separates this one is not a single feature. It is a renovated brick building, on an unusually large and private lot, at the end of a street that goes nowhere else, with a basement that most comparable properties simply do not have. Cookie-cutter is the one thing it is not.
