At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with seasonal views of Norwich Harbor, this 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home has room to spread out and a layout that works for owner-occupants and investors alike. The main level has the living room and two bedrooms. Upstairs, a heated, fully finished walk-up attic holds two more. The lower level has the kitchen, a home office, laundry, and the second full bath. The big-ticket items are done: new water heater, updated plumbing and electrical, a newer roof, and replacement vinyl windows throughout, plus hardwood floors. What's left is cosmetic, like paint, so you can put your own stamp on it. Outside there's a detached one-car garage with extra storage underneath, a paved driveway for three cars, and a backyard with a patio and an old garden bed ready to bring back. Close to shopping, restaurants, and major highways, and minutes from Mohegan Sun. Buyers to verify room count, square footage, and permitted uses.

Central Norwich, located between the Yantic River and the Shetucket River, is a historic and civic Norwich neighborhood with a walkable downtown grid and riverfront edges. The character concentrates around the Main Street and Chelsea Harbor Drive area, where brick storefronts, small galleries, and waterfront paths set a steady, day-to-night rhythm. The Slater Memorial Museum anchors local arts in a grand campus setting. The Norwich Arts Center adds studios and exhibitions in a landmark building. The Spa at Norwich Inn brings a resort-like counterpoint among wooded grounds and classic New England architecture. Streets of late-19th-century commercial blocks and civic buildings frame a compact, on-foot lifestyle tied to the rivers.
