Welcome to this classic Cape-style New England home. Set on a quiet side street just steps from the Thames River, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,726 square feet of warm, character-filled living space on a private, level .34-acre lot. Built in 1954, the home retains all the hallmarks of its era: beautiful hardwood floors, timeless proportions, and an abundance of charming built-ins throughout that give the home a sense of craft and permanence not found in newer construction. The main level features a warm and inviting kitchen with ample cabinetry and workspace, as well as a primary bedroom and a full bath. A second main-floor bedroom features built-ins ideal for a home office. Two spacious bedrooms overlooking the back yard are located upstairs, along with a second full bath that boasts a generous soaking tub. The full basement features extensive built-in storage and a large workshop that is a dream for hobbyists, while presenting an opportunity to create additional finished living space for a recreation room, fitness area, or media room. Out back, a screened patio overlooks a spacious, fully fenced yard that feels genuinely private, making it ideal for relaxing or entertaining year-round. The large attached two-car garage adds still more storage and workspace. The location is quietly exceptional. Walk to the library, a waterfront park, a variety of local restaurants and shops. Easy commute the Naval Submarine Base, area colleges, beaches, and main travel routes.
