36 lester street

Main-level ease, a fully finished flexible lower level, and Ocean Beach Park about a mile down the road. This 1979 raised ranch offers two bedrooms and two full baths, and it lives larger than its numbers suggest. The main level flows easily from the living room to the dining room and into the kitchen, with the primary bedroom stretching nearly 16 feet. Downstairs is where this one separates itself: the lower level is fully finished, heated and cooled, and opens directly into the attached two-car garage. Media room, home office, gym, or all three, it is comfortable space to use every day of the year. Ductless heat pumps take care of both heating and cooling, while public water and sewer keep ownership simple. Outside, the level 0.40-acre open lot leaves plenty of room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors, with a porch to take it all in. Minutes to downtown New London's restaurants and waterfront, Union Station rail, the ferries, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, and I-95 for quick trips to Groton and Mystic. A flexible, comfortable home in a location that keeps everyday life easy.
