286 Ocean Ave

About This Home

Property Id: 2758662 Tucked behind a classic covered entry, this beautifully renovated cottage at 286 Ocean Ave blends timeless 19th-century character with a fresh, modern interior. From the outside, you'll fall for the storybook curb appeal — cheerful yellow clapboard siding, a peaked gabled roof, decorative window trim, and charming diamond-pane accents. Inside, it's been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom. The open main living area features wide-plank flooring, neutral paint, and abundant natural light. A compact, updated kitchen offers crisp gray shaker cabinetry, a gas range, refrigerator, and a modern pull-down faucet — everything you need in an efficient, well-designed footprint. A distinctive exposed-brick fireplace surround (decorative) and clever built-in shelving add warmth and character you won't find in a standard rental. Upstairs, the private bedroom sits under cozy sloped ceilings with a large closet and peaceful treetop views. Freshly painted stairwell, updated fixtures, and a clean, bright bath round out the space. Comfortable forced-air heating throughout, with convenient on-street parking right out front. A rare find that feels like a private home rather than an apartment — perfect for anyone who wants charm, privacy, and a fully updated space near [neighborhood / the shore / downtown New London]. Rent: $1,500/month Bedrooms: 1 | Bath: 1 Heat: Forced air Appliances: Gas range, refrigerator, range hood Parking: On-street
