Written by Bob Wiedenmann | Jun. 25, 2015

Some might say that there’s nothing new under the sun, but that’s probably because they don’t know about two great new communities in the Wallingford area. Where you choose to live is a big deal, and now there are a couple of great new choices for potential Connecticut homeowners. 

Bridgewater Estates is a charming new community located in Northford that has great views of Totoket Mountain. The community has been carefully planned to protect open spaces and conservation areas—preserving the natural beauty of the surroundings. The sidewalks and street lighting make it a perfect neighborhood for a summer eve stroll, and residents will enjoy both the serenity of the surroundings and easy access to shopping, highways and so much more. 

The fantastic homes here offer gracious interiors with features such as:

  • 9’ ceilings on the first floor
  • Hardwood floor in all main living areas
  • Ceramic tile flooring in all bathrooms, drop zones and laundry rooms
  • Carpeting in all bedrooms
  • Gas fireplace with granite surround and wood mantle
  • Designer lighting fixture package
  • Designer bathrooms with Maple master and main bath vanities with cultured marble countertops and integrated sinks, Oversized fiberglass tub/shower in the hall bathroom, Master shower with 5’ fiberglass base, tiled walls and built in seat

These homes offer comfort and energy efficiency with high efficiency, propane gas, forced warm air heat, and central air conditioning, double hung vinyl windows with low-E argon filled glass and screens, a 40-gallon propane water heater, and plenty of insulation (R-19 walls, R-38 attic, R-30 basement ceiling). And there are plenty of options from which to choose.

Royal Oaks is a brand new neighborhood on Wallingford’s picturesque west side that will be limited to just 16 home sites in order to retain the natural beauty of the area. Those lucky homeowners will be able to enjoy the open spaces and conservation areas or stroll the sidewalks along the cul de sac roadway. And even though New Haven, Hartford and Middletown are less than 30 minutes away, residents will be able to enjoy Wallingford’s eclectic mix of restaurants, cafe’s and sports bars—as well as the quaint downtown that’s lined with wonderful shops 

The homes here feature fine interiors with features such as:

  • 9’ ceilings on the first floor
  • Hardwood flooring in all main living areas
  • Ceramic tile flooring in all bathrooms, drop zones and laundry rooms
  • Carpeting in all bedrooms
  • Smart kitchens with an island, maples cabinets and pantry for storage, granite countertops with stainless steel under-mount sinks and pullout faucet, and stainless steel GE appliances
  • Luxurious baths with maple master and main bath vanities with cultured marble countertops and integrated sinks, 5 foot one piece fiberglass shower in master bath, and 5 foot one piece fiberglass tub/shower in hall bathroom. 

One top of that, these home come with a landscaped lawn and front yard plantings, a brushed concrete front walkway, steps and porch, and an asphalt driveway.
