Tucked into a quiet Gales Ferry setting, this is the kind of home that has simply been cared for-and it shows. Thoughtful updates, flexible living space and a location just minutes from Naval Submarine Base New London make this one especially easy to appreciate. Upstairs, a spacious eat-in kitchen with updated countertops opens to a bright three-season room and large patio with built-in firepit. Three bedrooms, a full bath and cozy living room with fireplace/pellet stove insert and custom picture-frame TV complete the main level. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level offers a generous second family room and freshly renovated full bathroom, plus access to the spacious two-car garage with laundry, generator hookup-and the generator stays! Behind the scenes, the home is just as impressive: central air was added in 2019, a new septic system installed in 2021, electrical upgraded to 200 amps, and mechanicals and appliances have been routinely maintained. Peaceful and tucked away, yet convenient to Military Highway, Electric Boat, the Coast Guard Academy, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods. Comfortable, exceptionally well cared for and surprisingly versatile-this is a lot of home to find in one Gales Ferry property.
