About This Home

As of October 2020

This is the dream home you've been waiting for! A picturesque tree-lined street leads to this remodeled home--which is only 200 feet to Pee Wee Beach in the Pine Orchard Association where you can watch the sunset over Branford Point and enjoy a picnic. Step inside this lovely home and you'll be impressed by the upgrades and architectural details that set it apart. The first floor of this 1930s Gambrel Colonial has been entirely remodeled. The living room has a center gas fireplace with french doors on either side that connect to the sunroom with windows overlooking a private yard. The dining room has 60" high raised wood panels. From there, you can reach the new kitchen which includes custom built cabinets, stainless steel Thermador appliances (a double oven and a six burner gas cooktop), a farmhouse sink, a center island with seating, and Carrera marble countertops. The family room is a great place to gather. The stone wood burning fireplace is charming, and the custom wall built-ins are stunning. Upstairs, you will find 5 bedrooms, including the Master bedroom and sitting area with vaulted ceilings, as well as glass doors that lead to a viewing deck where you'll have water views and sea breezes. The ensuite bath has double sinks, a deep tub and tiled shower. In April 2018, the owners installed a beautiful bluestone patio (and an outdoor hot/cold shower) accessible from both the sunroom and the family room. Gas heat and city water. No flood insurance. Only 80 miles to NYC!
