This Gales Ferry residence carries the kind of presence and detail that newer construction simply can't replicate - handsome built-in hutches, a wood-burning stove for cozy winter evenings, and bones that have held up beautifully for nearly a century. It sits on a commanding corner lot with mature landscaping, natural light from multiple exposures, and a private, enclosed yard that delivers real seclusion - a genuine rarity on a corner. This home offers additional rooms ready to adapt to whatever life calls for - a home office, creative studio, guest room, playroom, reading library, or workout space. Maintained mini-split AC units provide quiet, efficient, room-by-room climate control year-round. The front entryway doubles as a mudroom with washer and dryer hookups - a practical touch that keeps daily life organized from the moment you walk in. Outside, the property delivers on every count. An above-ground swimming pool makes summer in the backyard something to look forward to, while an oversized shed - substantial enough for a workshop, serious storage, or hobby space - means there's room for everything without giving up any of the main living area. The enclosed private yard offers room for gardens, pets, play, or simply unwinding without an audience. Gales Ferry is - close to everything without feeling like it. Near the public library and neighborhood playground. Minutes to everyday shopping, and an easy commute to EB, Pfizer and I-95.
