If you've been looking for a turn-key home within walking distance to the water, your search is over! Welcome to 55 Woodlawn Rd, a beautifully remodeled & reimagined home that could be a great condo alternative for the first time buyer or down-sizer, and those looking for a 2nd home near the beach or an investment property. The main level is open and airy and full of natural light. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the kitchen, complete with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a large island overlooking the dining & living room areas with gas fireplace for those cool nights. Upstairs you'll find hardwoods throughout the 2 large bedrooms, and a remodeled bathroom with shower/tub combo with large-format tile surround and custom niche. The full basement is currently unfinished but could make for additional living space, or great as-is for laundry and storage with convenient walk-out access. Outside you'll find a detached garage and a large private backyard with mature trees, providing a quiet retreat or a great space for entertaining. Additional features include a new roof, natural gas heating system, low-maintenance aluminum siding & vinyl windows, and a location that can't be beat! This home is steps away from Alewife Cove to kayak and take in the natural beauty, and a short distance from Ocean Beach as well as several private beaches, Yale New Haven/L&M Hospital, Mitchell College, Electric Boat, shopping & restaurants in both New London & Waterford, and much more

Additional features include aluminum siding, vinyl windows, natural gas, a detached garage, and a charming private backyard with mature trees and a surprising amount of space. This home is being sold "as-is" and would be best suited for cash, hard money, or renovation loan buyers based on a possible active leak in the roof and a lack of knowledge on the state of the mechanicals & plumbing system (currently off and will not be turned on prior to closing).
