Welcome to 78 Nelkin Rd, a classic original-owner property in Colchester CT; with the combination of convenience, and community, this home is set amongst picturesque landscapes and traditional New England wildlife. You will find a ranch-style home that possesses charm and practicality, representative of what has made Colchester an attractive town to live in for many years. Following 40 years of prideful ownership, an opportunity is available to live among the Heatherwood development (same builder) at a modest cost. The outdoor space of this property is a highlight, the previous owners enjoyed; morning coffee on the back deck, an evening beverage in the private outdoor sitting area, and summer dips in the above-ground swimming pool. For the gardener, there are multiple perennial gardens, and a sun-lit southern exposure location where an extensive vegetable garden flourished for decades. Inside the home, it is apparent how much additional space each room has for a classic ranch. Each room graciously benefits from the 2 bedroom layout. Hardwood floors shine in the sun filled living room, full of natural light from the large picture window. A table for 6 will comfortably fit in the roomy eat-in kitchen, equipped with newer stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are oversized, the master bedroom measures 12' by 16' and contains a full room-width closet.
