17 Schaffer Dr, East Hartford, CT 06118

Lovingly cared for by the same family for over two decades, this well-appointed East Hartford colonial offers the ideal blend of comfort, space, and location. Set on a generous 0.61-acre lot, the home welcomes you with 1,570 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space designed for the way families actually live. The main level offers a versatile flex room perfect as a home office, playroom, or potential fourth bedroom - providing the flexibility today's buyers are looking for. Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms are served by a full bath, while a convenient half bath on the main level keeps daily routines running smoothly. The partially finished basement adds valuable square footage beyond the main living areas - ideal as a recreation room, home gym, or hobby space - with room left unfinished for storage or a future expansion to suit your needs. The oversized two-car attached garage adds everyday practicality, whether you're storing vehicles, gear, or simply appreciating a dry entry on a New England winter morning. Outside, the expansive lot offers room to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the seasons in your own private setting. Families will love the walkability to the elementary school and the home's prime positioning just moments from the Glastonbury town line - giving you easy access to top-rated amenities, dining, and commuter routes. Homes like this - cherished, cared-for, and in a neighborhood this accessible - don't come to market often.
