Welcome to 204 Braeside Dr, a beautifully updated colonial tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Hamden. From the moment you arrive, the well-manicured lawn, mature landscaping, and inviting curb appeal set the tone for what's inside. Step into the foyer with a formal living room on one side and a spacious dining room on the other. Straight ahead, the home opens into an impressive kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinet space, lots of countertops, and a large island that flows right into the family room. This is the heart of the home, featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, and an open layout that is perfect for everyday living or entertaining. Off the family room is a sun-filled spa room with a hot tub, wood ceiling, skylights, and direct access to the backyard patio. The main level also includes a laundry room, half bath, and access to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite that feels like its own private retreat. The primary bedroom features a sitting area, walk-in closet, full bath with steam shower, and an additional room currently used as an office and gym. The second full bathroom offers a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The finished basement adds even more usable space with a kitchenette and recreation/game room setup. Outside, enjoy the patio, backyard, stone walls, mature landscaping, and plenty of room to relax or entertain.
