Located on one of the most desirable streets in East Lyme, 5 Willow Lane is a classic New England colonial that offers charm, updates, and a true sense of home. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence features just over 1,700 square feet of above-grade living space and has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for the past decade. Beautiful oak hardwood floors run throughout much of the home, complementing a cozy living room with a working wood-burning fireplace and a formal dining room ideal for everyday meals or special gatherings. The eat-in kitchen is both functional and inviting, with a center island, plenty of cabinet space, newer stainless steel appliances, and access to a back porch that opens to a fully fenced, private backyard-perfect for children, pets, and relaxing evenings. Mature bamboo adds a unique touch and natural privacy to the outdoor space. Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms share a full bath, while the partially finished basement offers added flexibility with space for recreation, hobbies, or storage. A recently installed brand-new leaching field brings long-term peace of mind. Blending classic style, comfort, and community, this is a home is ready for its next set of home owners.
