Nestled on a quiet, low-traffic, side street, this charming 2 bedroom ranch home provides a peaceful retreat. This home features a cozy Living Room with a large bow window, gorgeous hardwood floors and a striking fireplace! Enjoy a spacious Eat-in Kitchen with tiled floor, stainless steel gas stove (can easily replace with electric), dishwasher & brand new refrigerator. The recently remodeled bathroom offers a heated floor, spacious tiled shower, and access to the laundry room with storage. The master bedroom boasts 2 large closets with plenty of storage complimented by a second bedroom that can be used as a home office space. The home has a covered porch and has had the roof replaced only a year ago. The landscaped corner lot offers privacy and includes a fully fenced in backyard and a storage shed. The oversized one car garage offers plenty of room for parking or for a shop space with workbench and cabinets built-in. Crawl space has vapor barrier installed and new windows. The attic has a high ceiling and plywood flooring great for storage.
Branford Hills, located between Branford Center and North Branford, is a residential and wooded Branford Center neighborhood with rolling terrain and winding lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 80 (North Main Street) corridor near the Branford/North Branford line, where small plazas, local eateries, and everyday services set a low-key rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century colonials and capes alongside newer builds tucked into the trees. Trail access and reservoir-edge scenery shape an outdoors-forward routine. Downtown Branford’s shoreline culture sits a short drive away, balancing hills-and-woods quiet with town-center energy.
