**HIGHEST AND BEST DUE BY MONDAY MARCH 23 AT 3 PM** Is there a 4-bedroom Colonial in Middletown with an inground pool and a full acre of land? 270 Higby Rd delivers. With over 2,800+ square feet of living space, this classic 4-bedroom, 3-bath Colonial is set on a private one-acre lot, creating a peaceful setting that's hard to find while still being close to everything Middletown has to offer. Inside, the home features a traditional center hall Colonial layout with generously sized living spaces and multiple fireplaces that add warmth and character throughout. The flexible floor plan offers room for everyday living, entertaining, and working from home. Step outside and the property truly comes to life. The fully fenced backyard is designed for summer living, complete with an in-ground pool, hot tub, and expansive yard that offers both privacy and space to gather. The screened in porch becomes the heart of the home during warmer months-perfect for hosting friends, enjoying quiet mornings with coffee, or relaxing in the evening after a swim. Mature landscaping enhances the sense of retreat while maintaining open space to enjoy the outdoors. Recent improvements include a new driveway, new pavers, newer roof, generator wiring, and an on-demand hot water heater. A pool restoration scheduled for May 2026 adds even more confidence for years to come. This is the kind of property that simply feels right-where you wake up in the morning and think "I can't believe I get to live here
