About This Home
Waterfront properties like this don't come along often. Owned by the same family for generations, this special property, known as 24 Little Bay Lane (town records list it as 4 Little Bay), offers approximately 85 feet of direct water frontage in one of Branford's most desirable shoreline locations. The property includes a main house with a lower-level in-law apartment and a separate cottage that can be used seasonally or year-round. While the homes need updating, the setting and potential are undeniable. Enjoy stunning water views, coastal breezes, and easy access to Short Beach. You can wade across the water to sandy Short beach, making this a truly unique shoreline property. Whether you're looking to renovate, build, or create a family compound, the possibilities are endless. Conveniently located just minutes from Yale, downtown New Haven, the train station, and Tweed Airport, this is a rare opportunity to own a waterfront property in a sought-after Branford location.
