About this home

Updated Short Beach contemporary home with open floorpan and lots of light. Two bedrooms, an open living area, and a new kitchen and bath make up the main floor. A spiral staircase leads to an upstairs hang-out with half bath, partially open to the living area below. A full car garage is a nice plus at this price point, and offers extra room for storage as well. The home has great curb appeal with newly landscaped front garden beds and new gravel drive. The rear has a walk-out deck off the kitchen perfect for grilling or a outdoor eating. A few creative touches could make the rear yard an cozy retreat. Less than a 10 minute walk to the shore, and an easy drive to all Branford shopping. Easy I95 commute to New Haven and beyond. This is a great location and a perfect "condo alternative" for someone looking for a light, bright, free standing home to call their own. Easy to show - schedule a viewing today!
