1 River Rd, East Lyme, CT 06333

Situated on a mostly level lot at the head of the Niantic River and in a small neighborhood with easy access to I-395/I-95 and loads of privacy. This charming home is updated and move-in ready. Enjoy the fieldstone fireplace fitted with a woodstove to make the house cozy in the winter, and ceiling fans in the kitchen and bedrooms that assist the summer breezes that flow through the home. The full, dry basement has interior access and workshop space, as well as a bulkhead for access from the outside. There is a full attic with pull-down stairs, offering great storage and potential for expansion. The one car garage is oversized with a workshop area and attached shed, providing room for hobbies or garden & sports equipment. Decks at either end of the house allow you to relax and observe life on the river with year-round views of the top of the river, and seasonal views south to the Niantic Bridge. The .56 acre lot has perennials planted throughout and plenty of space for a garden. Wildlife abounds for the nature lover; view a variety of birds, deer and waterfowl along the river or from nearby Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve, which abuts the neighborhood. Push off in your canoe or kayak from the nearby deeded access point. This is the perfect first home, downsizing option or summer shoreline retreat. A complete list of renovations includes a newer roof, new 1000-gallon septic tank, refinished hardwood floors, new linoleum floors in the kitchen and baths, updated vanity in the half bath, and freshly painted interior.
