Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath contemporary style home sits on a private .6-acre lot in a desirable location; just minutes from beaches, Hammonasset State Park, the scenic Shoreline walking trails, and the vibrant center of town. Steps lead up to the front deck and entry foyer, opening to a light-filled, open-concept living space. Cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and shiplap add warmth and character, while the floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace serves as a striking focal point; perfect for cozy winter nights. The combined living and dining area flows into a well-appointed kitchen featuring a tiered island, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a tile backsplash. Sliders off the main living space open to a sun-drenched enclosed porch with access to the rear deck and backyard, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. All three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level and offer hardwood floors, including a master with a full bath with shower. A second full bath includes a tub/shower combination. The finished lower level adds approximately 640 square feet of additional living space, featuring a recreation room, a versatile bonus room, a laundry room with a utility sink, and direct access to the one-car garage. Additional amenities include new central A/C, new well pump, new roof, recently painted interior & exterior.
