About this House

**HIGHEST AND BEST DUE BY TODAY MONDAY 4/06 BY 6PM**Tucked into a quiet Ellington neighborhood, 8 Gem Drive offers the kind of easy, comfortable living that feels right the moment you arrive. Set on a large, private yard framed by mature trees, this inviting ranch blends thoughtful updates with everyday functionality. Inside, natural light fills the living spaces with hardwood underneath the carpets, creating a warm and welcoming flow. The updated kitchen with newer appliances and the remodeled full bathroom bring a fresh, modern touch, while three well-sized bedrooms, with hardwood underneath the carpeting, provide comfortable space to unwind. Recent upgrades-including a new furnace, central air, and washer/dryer (all within the last 2-3 years), new leaf guard gutter system -offer peace of mind for years to come. Out back, the home truly shines. A composite deck with a remote-controlled awning sets the stage for slow mornings or lively evenings, complete with a 5-burner gas grill and propane fire pit. Two outbuildings add flexibility for storage or hobbies, and the expansive yard invites you to relax, garden, or entertain. The partially finished basement offers endless potential for future living space, while a one-car attached garage and newer driveway add everyday convenience. Just minutes from Crystal Lake, Shenipsit State Forest, and local favorites like Cold Creek Brewery, this home offers a perfect blend of privacy, updates, and location.

    "It’s a drive to anywhere. No public transportation. I’m lucky and only commute 4 miles but my job is part time with poor pay. For a real job you have to drive 30-45 mins to a larger more populated area. "

    "We are 25 minutes from major highways . Farming community so smelly and farm tractors on roads ar commuting times. Tractor trailer training school nearby also uses our roads. Main road through town is becoming a very busy area with a lot of businesses and traffic, very uncharacteristic of what Ellington represents."

    "Takes 20 minutes to get to the highways. Very rural, passes by cornfields and cow farm. Grocery, pharmacy, hardware and gasoline stores are 15 minutes away. Close to Massachusetts border and not a long drive to Connecticut or Rhode Island Beaches. Also a short drive to Northern New England for winter skiing."

    "The area that I live in is not good for walking dogs as there are no sidewalks. I do see people walking their dog at Arbor Park in the center of town. Most homes in Ellington have sufficient property to allow the dog to have plenty of outdoor space roam. There are also a number of hiking trails in the area that allow well behaved dogs on a leash."
