About This Home

As of November 2022

Welcome to 33-40 Bluff Road in Gales Ferry, CT, otherwise known as, "Wildwoods". This beautiful, bright and spacious 2500+ sq ft, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Colonial is located on a cul-de-sac in the quiet residential Gales Ferry Village of Ledyard. Perched above the river on “The Bluffs”. The home, while spacious, is notably cozy. Making your way through the front door, one can not help but notice the striking river views straight ahead. To complete the experience, simply add a private dock leading to the Thames River right from your backyard. There is one bedroom on the main floor, with the remaining two on the second level, each room furnished with a personal full bath. The kitchen features white cabinets, redone in 2019, with a large center island with quartz countertops and walk-in pantry closet to the right. The family room features a woodstove fireplace which was added in 2020 and is a great source of supplemental heat. The family room then leads you to the back patio where in the summer time you can watch the Yale-Harvard regatta race and scores of gorgeous sunsets. Leased solar panels were also added in 2020. The basement which has a separate entrance, is fully finished and offers seemingly limitless possibilities. Detached two-car garage with room above for possible expansion of living space. Conveniently located near Routes 395 and 95, shopping, local amenities, and casinos. This home is a real pleasure to show. Please come and take a look.
