About This Home

As of December 2022

Welcome to 52 Grove Place, an adorably renovated bungalow in walking distance to one of CT's best beaches! Sea Bluff Beach is a 2-minute walk and truly spectacular with access to the playgound, walking bridge, boardwalk and more. Watch the 4th of July fireworks right from your cozy front porch! This home has all the character and charm of a 1929 cottage - wide plank flooring, trim details, some natural settling and a gorgeous wood burning fireplace. The whole home was renovated in 2019 including new HVAC, floors refinished, some new windows, roof, siding, the kitchen and full bath! There is storage in the basement and attic. The rear of the home has a mudroom with laundry. The yard is flat, large, and mostly private for enjoying warm weather. This is a great commuter location with true walkability to not only the beach and playground, but some restaurants and shops. The highway is a short distance away. Come see what West Shore has to offer including great eateries like Duffys, Riptide and Dive Bar and a future brewery a mile away! NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE! Ever think of owning an AirBnb or vacation rental? This can be a great income producing beach house!!
