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. 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 sub dividable, presenting potential for future expansion or development, subject to necessary approvals. Fully paid solar panels. Steeped in local history and believed to occupy the original site of Fort Nonsense, this property offers a wonderful opportunity for those who appreciate homes with a story to tell. Conveniently located near Ocean Beach Park, Waterford beaches, downtown New London's restaurants and arts scene, Mystic, ferry terminals, Amtrak service, Electric Boat, Pfizer, and the Coast Guard Academy.
