There's not enough space here to really describe how cozy this house is, so you might have to see it for yourself. Simply put, the trend to downsize the space we live in, unscramble, and live with less has become a social movement. It's about more than living in a small space, although your house is a big part of that. Affordability, efficiency, eco-friendliness, and minimalism are the four most attractive factors that the tiny home lifestyle has to offer. This particular home in the Gales Ferry part of Ledyard is bigger than your typical tiny home with an oversized primary bedroom and nearly an acre of land. A field stone fireplace creates ambiance in the living room while a cut stone fireplace on the opposite end of the home brightens up the primary bedroom. High quality and sustainable, the original natural wood floors flow through the publics areas. Do your part to destress the infrastructure by living with a well and onsite waste treatment system. You'd better print this listing out-you won't want to forget it! Property is partially agent owned.
