About This Home

A truly special home where art meets beach house living on a corner lot with beautiful, protected water views that will remain unobstructed. This completely renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence blends thoughtful design, artistry, and warmth in every detail. Featuring wide-plank reclaimed wood throughout and a creative, one-of-a-kind interior, the home was crafted with exceptional attention to detail, care, and intention. Beautiful stained-glass accents add charm and character, while the sun-filled corner kitchen window creates a bright and inviting space to gather, cook, and enjoy the surrounding views. Every room feels unique, welcoming, and full of personality. Located within the private beach community of Hotchkiss Grove, residents enjoy access to over an acre of sandy shoreline, a private boat launch, and a waterfront gathering point perfect for sunsets, kayaking, and coastal living. This is more than a home, it is a lifestyle and a rare opportunity to enjoy one of Branford's most treasured shoreline communities. The primary suite includes a private deck, creating a peaceful retreat with serene water views. Additional highlights include a whole-house generator, plumbed outdoor shower, detached garage, and a spacious dry basement offering excellent storage and flexibility. Furnace/HVAC is less than 2 years old and roof is 5 years old. If you are looking for a home that is artistic, soulful, and truly move-in ready near the water, this is a must-see.
