About This Home
Welcome to 21 Woodland Drive - a beautifully renovated contemporary on a private, wooded lot in rural Salem. Offering roughly 2,240 sq ft of finished living space, this home blends character with modern updates throughout. The soaring living room features cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and one-of-a-kind wide-plank hardwood floors with hand-crafted peg-and-butterfly inlay detailing. The stunning kitchen boasts white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, stone tile backsplash, stainless appliances, a center island, and a garden bay window. Two main-level bedrooms and a full bath allow easy one-floor living, while upstairs offers a spacious primary retreat, an additional carpeted bedroom, a second full bath, and a large walk-in attic. Fresh paint, new carpet, and updated fixtures make it move-in ready. Comfort is covered year-round with hot-water heat and central air conditioning. Enjoy a two-car attached garage, paved driveway, covered patio, and a brand-new concrete patio overlooking the tree-lined grounds, all wrapped in low-maintenance board-and-batten siding. A new water heater, private well, and septic complete the package. Ideally located near Gardner Lake, Salem School, and Routes 85 and 11 for an easy commute to Norwich and New London - a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and modern comfort.
