*OFFER DEADLINE 7 PM 7/22* Tucked back from the road on a beautifully landscaped lot in Ledyard, this updated raised ranch offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with 1,028 square feet on the main level plus an additional 480 square feet of finished lower-level living space. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the home features new flooring, updated bathrooms, a remodeled kitchen, newer windows, and a roof that's only two years old, providing peace of mind for years to come. Enjoy year-round comfort with central air conditioning and forced-air heat, while the automatic whole-house generator offers added security and convenience during any power outage. An added bonus is the fully paid-off solar system, which has historically offset most, if not all, of the seller's annual electricity usage, providing the next owner with an opportunity for significant long-term energy savings without the burden of a solar lease or loan. The inviting living room showcases custom built-in bookshelves, and the eat-in kitchen is highlighted by stainless steel appliances and a charming pressed-tin ceiling. Downstairs, you'll find a spacious family room, laundry area, and abundant storage, creating flexible space for entertaining, a home office, or recreation. Outside, mature trees, classic stone walls, vibrant hydrangeas, and a screened gazebo create a private retreat that's perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. We hope that you don't miss out on this gem.
