55 Wintergreen DriveWaterford, CT 06385Price: $440,000

Tucked into Quaker Hill and located right on Smiths Cove, 55 Wintergreen Drive offers a rare blend of single-level ease and a peaceful waterfront setting. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch spans 1,209 square feet on a quarter-acre lot, built in 1960 and ready for its next owner to make it their own. Inside, a fireplace anchors the living room, a separate dining area sets the stage for gatherings, and the kitchen comes fully equipped with a gas cooktop, wall oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher - plus washer and dryer included for move-in ease. What sets this home apart is what's just beyond the back door: direct access to Smiths Cove, giving you your own private launch point to put a kayak straight in the water, unwind, or simply enjoy the view from the deck. The neighborhood also offers a designated area where property owners can access the cove - even more ways to get out on the water. Downstairs, a finished recreation room stretches over 600 square feet, offering flexible space for a family room, home office, or workout area, with additional storage in the unfinished basement beyond. An attached garage and private driveway round out the practical side, while the location keeps you close to it all - Quaker Hill Elementary just a short walk away, and Rt. 32, I-95, and I-395 all within easy reach. Waterfront homes at this price point don't come along often - this one is worth a closer look.
