Welcome to 41 Woodland Drive! Nestled in one of Centerbrook's most desirable neighborhoods, this picturesque 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath Cape sits on a lush .83-acre lot and exudes warmth, character, and tremendous charm. Built in 1963, the home offers 1,742 square feet of living space, central air, hardwood floors throughout, including in the bedrooms, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace that invites you to unwind. Step outside to discover a romantic, storybook garden, complete with mature trees, a backyard stone patio, a welcoming front porch and a white picket fence. Formerly home to a well-known local artist, the property carries a creative spirit. Hand-painted details add whimsy and personality throughout. Light-filled artist's studio with its tall windows provides the perfect space to dream, work, or relax. While move-in ready, the home offers plenty of potential to update and make it your own. Enjoy the best of both worlds... quiet, scenic surroundings just minutes from Essex Village, the Ivoryton Playhouse, shops, restaurants, and hiking. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that feels like a private retreat yet remains close to everything.
