CLOSE TO WOODMONT, BEACH, SCHOOLS, I-95! This West Haven 2-bedroom ranch style home offers lots to like, in a tidy package! Starting with a super location on the corner of Northrop and Sunset, there’s great curb appeal and a .24 acre property that seems like more, due to the expansive front and side yards. While the home can use some help with cosmetics (mostly paint and floor refinishing), it’s cheerful and functional throughout, and makes great use of space within its 912 square feet. The kitchen sports a handy breakfast bar and cute tile back splash, and is open to the dining area which walks out to a sunny deck. Living room and bedrooms are good size, and all of this is kept cool on hot days with Central A/C! Lower level offers lots of additional finished, useful space, including 3 rooms that can be used for hobby, workout or TV, whatever you like! Step outside to the back yard and enjoy the privacy of a tall vinyl gated fence and healthy green shrubbery. The big bonus is the 2-bay garage that can be used for vehicles, home business or workshop…nice to have! There’s plenty of parking in the driveway, newer architectural roof, energy-efficient thermal pane windows and easy-maintenance vinyl siding. A great starting point you can move right into, with lots more potential! The ideal location and nice balance of features make this adorable home a winner!
