In today's market, multiple offers are the norm, and buyers often face costly surprises after closing. Not here. Major updates have already been done for you: a brand-new boiler, updated electrical system, and a new septic tank installed in 2024-giving you one less thing to worry about. Inside, the thoughtfully renovated kitchen is a showstopper with classic shaker-style cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, all framed like a picture-perfect design moment. You'll find hardwood floors and luxury vinyl floors throughout, along with freshly painted rooms that make the space feel crisp and move-in ready. Curb appeal is on point too-arrive via a charming serpentine walkway to colorful, freshly painted doors and clean cedar shakes in timeless gray, offering classic New England character with a refreshed touch. While most of the original windows remain, they've been enhanced with storm windows for added energy efficiency. This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home sits on a generous .41-acre lot, perfectly located near the boat launch, Moodus' town beach, local dining, shopping, and miles of hiking trails and parks. If you're looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle with big-ticket updates already in place, this home checks all the right boxes. Come see how easy homeownership can feel when the hard work's already been done. You buy the town as much as the home, right? Good news: East Haddam is one of Connecticut's hidden gems-ranked as the 8th-largest town by area at nearly 57 square miles, yet home to just under 9,000 residents, offering a rare blend of space, serenity, and small-town charm. Outdoor lovers are drawn to its three exceptional state parks: Gillette Castle, perched above the Connecticut River with sweeping views and hiking paths; Devil's Hopyard, known for its dramatic falls and wooded trails; and Machimoodus State Park, a peaceful retreat for walking, birding, and paddling, and winding country roads. The town is threaded with scenic trails and greenways, making it a haven for walkers and cyclists alike. The historic East Haddam Swing Bridge, reopened in 2025 after a major $88 million rehabilitation, now features a new pedestrian walkway connecting both sides of town safely. Anchoring East Haddam's vibrant riverfront are the Goodspeed Opera House, an iconic cultural landmark, and the adjacent Gelston House, offering fine dining and views of the water, together forming the heart of this uniquely beautiful and livable New England town.
