## Description

### Agent Description
Luxury is effortless when every detail has already been addressed. Nestled among mature trees in the heart of Waterbury, this extensively remodeled home (2016-2025) offers over 3,300 finished square feet designed for comfort and connection. More than beautiful finishes, 5740 Walnut Hill delivers a lifestyle. Five distinct gathering spaces allow the home to feel warm and intimate for everyday living while easily accommodating holidays and guests. Two interior fireplaces add comfort and ambiance throughout the year. The chef-inspired kitchen features Sub-Zero refrigeration, wine fridge, KitchenAid professional gas range, Wolf steamer, warming drawer, dual sinks, butcher block and Cambria quartz surfaces, plus a 9' x 6' island built for gathering and entertaining. Outdoor living shines with four separate gathering areas, including a screened composite deck with fireplace, open-air deck, patio, and fire pit. Recent improvements include a new roof (2026), sewer line descaling (2026), sealed sump pump (2025), radon mitigation (2024), furnace (2024), ejector pump motor (2023), electrical expansion, added insulation, and extensive remodeling throughout. Flexible spaces offer options for a home office, guest suite, fitness area, or additional bedroom. Located in the heart of Waterbury, this move-in-ready home is designed for gathering, entertaining, and living well from day one.
