First Time on the Market - Your Perfect Opportunity Awaits! Nestled between Old Norwich Road and Bloomingdale Road, just a short distance from Route 32, this expanded ranch provides charm, convenience, and endless potential. Boasting recent updates, the home now includes an additional 782 square feet of finished lower-level living space with a walk-out, featuring a third bedroom, laundry nook, full bath with shower/tub, and a versatile family/media room. Ample storage options abound, including a 1-car attached garage, attic with pull-down stairs, and additional basement storage (complete with a gratuitous treadmill). For outdoor enthusiasts, the property highlights two gardens, ideal for self-sustaining hobbies or simply enjoying the beauty of nature. Listen to the serene sounds of taps played daily from the nearby Coast Guard Academy. Enjoy an easy commute to major local employers such as Electric Boat, the Naval Submarine Base, Pfizer, UCONN (Avery Point), Mitchell College, and Lawrence Memorial Hospital (YNH). The home's high-efficiency Buderus boiler, recently serviced, affords energy savings. Complementing this is a cozy wood-burning stove in the oversized living room for those chilly winter nights. Additional highlights include: * 2019 roof replacement * Upgraded Trex deck for durability and low maintenance * Proximity to the Connecticut College Arboretum, offering 750 acres of gardens, trails, and outdoor activities.
