About This Property

Classy, charming and just perfect Niantic Village bungalow, fully renovated down to the studs and elevated above the nearby flood zone, just 433' from the Niantic River with an approved mooring! Enjoy Niantic Bay views from the front porch and most rooms. Quality shows everywhere: Cedar Impressions siding, roof shingles rated to last 50 years, Icynene spray foam insulation, 97% efficient propane HVAC with central air and on-demand hot water, plus custom cabinetry and a one-piece soapstone sink. The primary bath impresses with a tiled dual-head shower and rain head. Upstairs, the open loft with brand-new flooring and a full bath offers an east-facing dormer overlooking the river, bridge, and marinas. Fresh paint throughout. The level, professionally landscaped 1/2-acre lot features a nectar fenced back yard with irrigation and room for a pool. A detached seasonal cottage with a new septic system makes a great office or guest space. Walk to Main Street for the Book Barn, boutiques, Gumdrops & Lollipops, Niantic Public House & Brewery, the Playhouse, and great dining. Just beyond is the 1.1-mile Niantic Bay Boardwalk along Long Island Sound, leading to Hole-in-the-Wall Beach, a beloved white-sand beach with a calm, jetty-sheltered swimming area and McCook Point Park next door. A year-round home or proven investment: a 5.0-star Airbnb Guest Favorite in the top 5% of listings, with easy upkeep. Rental documentation available. Furnishings available separately. Sold AS IS.
