About This Home
Welcome to the John Gardner House, a charming circa-1870 gambrel-style residence offering historic character, modern comforts, and exciting possibilities in coastal New London. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its timeless architectural details, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features renovated bathrooms, updated flooring, refurbished steam radiators, Mitsubishi mini-splits for cooling and supplemental heating, two newer gas fireplaces, and a wood-burning fireplace. Natural light fills the inviting living spaces, while exposed beams, classic architectural details, and a delightful sunroom add warmth and personality throughout. The sunroom has been previous used as a third bedroom and office. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds a generously sized lot that may be subdividable, presenting potential for future expansion or development, subject to necessary approvals. Fully paid solar panels provide an added benefit by helping offset electricity costs.
