MONROE, CT — Monroe's open-house weekend is all about fresh arrivals. Three of the four homes are brand-new to the market, from a fully renovated ranch with a small pond just beyond its trees to a turnkey dormered Cape with a brand-new kitchen. The fourth is a custom 1985 ranch at the end of a cul-de-sac, with a spa-like primary bath overlooking the gardens.
Four Monroe homes are holding open houses Sept. 26 and 27, with prices from $425,000 to $700,000, according to Zillow.com.
85 Walnut St., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. — $595,000. Hitting the market the same day as its open house, this completely renovated 1954 ranch offers easy single-level living on just under an acre. The three-bedroom, two-bath home has 1,376 square feet, an open kitchen and dining area with quartz counters and hardwood floors throughout. The primary suite has a huge shower and a large walk-in closet. There's also an oversized two-car garage, a 1,328-square-foot basement with high ceilings ready to finish and a large deck near a small pond just beyond the trees.
59 Hannah Lane, noon to 2 p.m. — $700,000. A circular driveway leads to this 1985 custom ranch in a tranquil cul-de-sac setting on 2.33 acres. The three-bedroom, 3.5-bath home lists 3,167 square feet, including a finished lower level with its own full bath that the listing calls great for multigenerational living. The primary suite's addition gives it a spa-like bath overlooking the gardens, and there are hardwood floors.
4 Osborn Lane, 1 to 3 p.m. — $425,000. The weekend's most affordable stop is a 1965 ranch on a level 1.05-acre lot, new to the market Sept. 25 and ready for someone to add their own cosmetic updates. The three-bedroom, one-bath home has 1,549 square feet, a living room, dining room and family room, a newer roof and gutters and city water. The listing also points to nearby Wolfe Park and Great Hollow Lake.
3 Glenbrook Drive, 1 to 3 p.m. — $599,999. Also new Sept. 25, this updated, turnkey dormered Cape sits on about an acre, with two bedrooms on the main level and two upstairs. The four-bedroom, two-bath home has 1,306 square feet and a brand-new eat-in kitchen with granite counters, a center island and a farm sink. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace, and sliders open to a level, private backyard and patio.
Make a weekend of it: Saturday morning, catch the Walnut Street ranch on its very first day on the market, then head to Hannah Lane's cul-de-sac at noon. Sunday's two new listings share the same 1-to-3 p.m. slot, so go from the fix-it-your-way ranch on Osborn Lane to the move-in-ready Cape on Glenbrook Drive, or the other way around.
