Just Listed in Monroe, CT: Classic Colonial Charm Meets Modern Living

10 Applegate Lane is a Center Hall Colonial at the end of a quiet Monroe cul-de-sac — private home office, sunlit living room, eat-in kitchen at the heart of the house. It went on to draw 7 offers and close $106,000 over asking.

Step inside to a welcoming entryway flanked by a private home office and a sunlit living room that flows seamlessly into the dining room. At the heart of the home, a spacious eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a large island—perfect for both everyday meals and entertaining. The kitchen opens directly to a vaulted-ceiling family room with a cozy fireplace, custom built-ins, and transom windows that flood the space with natural light. Both the kitchen and family room offer access to an oversized deck that overlooks an expansive, private backyard—ideal for alfresco dining, summer barbecues, or quiet evenings under the stars.

Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a vaulted primary suite with walk-in closets and a large en-suite bath featuring a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The finished lower level offers bonus space ideal for a home gym, media lounge, or playroom—making it easy to tailor the home to your needs.

Recent updates include newer hardwood flooring, HVAC, roof, hot water heater, windows, and more—providing modern comfort and lasting value.

Located just minutes from Wolfe Park, the Lakewood-Trumbull YMCA, scenic trails, shopping, and key commuter routes like Route 25 and the Merritt Parkway, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy and accessibility.
