About This Home

As of May 2025

***Updated parking plans: all parking behind the house will be exclusive to this house (55 E Main). No shared parking spaces.*** Welcome to 55 E Main, a beautifully sunlit bungalow nestled in the heart of Branford's walkable downtown. Just steps from the town green, local cafes, shops, and restaurants, this home offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and everyday convenience. Inside, you'll find warm hardwood floors throughout, complementing the natural light that fills every room. The kitchen features elegant quartz countertops and a gorgeous tile backsplash, offering both style and function, while the living areas and enclosed front porch create a welcoming atmosphere. The home's standout features is the fully finished walk-up attic - an ideal space for a home office, yoga retreat, art studio, or playroom. No need to use it for storage because there's a full basement for your personal items. Outside, the large backyard invites outdoor gatherings, gardening, or simply unwinding in your own oasis. Brand new roof and gutters (2025) and the shared driveway will be paved this spring. *Please note - the neighboring property is undergoing a full remodel, including an exterior transformation - enhancing the overall charm and value of the street. If you're looking for a home that blends character, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, 55 E Main St is a must-see. Agent owner.
