This distinctive Cape Cod-style home stands out with its rare and eye-catching roofline, featuring multiple dormer windows that crown the upper level-filling the space with natural light and adding architectural character you don't often find in traditional Capes. Located just moments from Downtown Mystic and a short distance to Noank Village, the property offers the perfect blend of accessibility and privacy, all while being conveniently situated across from the Mystic River Magnet School. Inside, the home features a thoughtfully designed layout with two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main floor-ideal for flexible living arrangements. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, boasting quartz countertops and a U-shaped design that flows seamlessly into the open dining and living area, creating a bright and connected space for everyday living and entertaining. The entryway makes a memorable first impression, surrounded by oversized windows that flood the space with light and offer a unique split-level feel. Just a few steps up lead you into the main living area, while a few steps down bring you to the basement. Set on over half an acre, the outdoor space includes a large garden area and a shed, perfect for storage, hobbies, or creating your own backyard retreat. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a roof replaced in 2020 and a new furnace, blending classic charm with modern efficiency.
