About This Home

As of March 2023

CONVENIENTLY LOCATED... enjoy all that the vibrant shoreline town of Branford offers. This light-filled 3-bedroom colonial was completed in 2005 and offers an open concept floor plan. The living room features a large Bow window, ceiling fan and a gas fireplace for those colder winter months. Meal preparation is easy in the spacious kitchen which offers plenty of counterspace, large center island w/seating & storage space, tiled backsplash, a gas cook-top and double wall ovens. Glass sliders off the breakfast nook/dining area open to a deck and patio and out to pool. The half bath/powder room also has access to the backyard and pool. All of the bedrooms are found on the second floor, including the master bedroom which offers a private balcony overlooking the pool and yard. The master bath will need to be completed by the new owner. The second full bath offers a combination tub/shower and stackable washer & dryer. This home offers fabulous outdoor spaces; enjoy summer BBQs on the deck, lounge or dine alfresco on the patio which surrounds a 20' x 40' in-ground pool, perfect for your morning exercise or simply take a dip after a long day of work or play. Grab a cold beverage and relax & unwind by the stone fire-pit... or better yet, roast some marshmallows for a delicious s'mores treat! Additional amenities are central A/C, natural gas, city water, city sewer, a walk-up attic and a full dry basement. Close to train station, beach, park, town green, restaurants & shops.
