Welcome to a piece of history located at 397 Colonel Ledyard Highway. This beautifully refreshed Antique Colonial blends historic New England character with meaningful modern improvements. Built in 1750, this home includes a rich history - in the early 1820's, this house was home to Jonathan Whipple, the first President of the post-Civil War Connecticut Peace Society and an early teacher of the oralism method to the hearing-impaired. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 2,424 square feet of living space including warm wide plank pine floors that flow seamlessly throughout, a flexible floor plan, and timeless details throughout. Recent updates provide added peace of mind, including a new roof in 2025, a water radon mitigation system, repointed foundation work on both the exterior and basement, fresh interior paint, mainly newer windows, and a newer fence. The home also features oil hot-water heat and an unfinished partial-basement for storage. Set on a half-acre lot, the property offers inviting outdoor living with a spacious deck ideal for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. Conveniently located near Ledyard Center, Mystic, Groton, Electric Boat, the Sub Base, casinos, vineyards, and major routes, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ledyard history with important updates already completed.
