About This Home

Lovingly maintained for the past 25 years, this charming East Haven home reflects true pride of ownership. Completely renovated in 2001, the house offers 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, refinished hardwood floors, replacement windows, updated roof and siding, and beautiful woodwork throughout. The flexible floor plan provides options for a home office, guest room, or additional bedroom, while natural gas heat offers efficient comfort throughout the seasons. A clean & dry unfinished basement, with direct kitchen access, provides abundant storage space and endless possibilities for a workshop, hobby area, home gym, or recreation space. Step from the kitchen onto the newly stained deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard. Carefully cultivated over the years, with a mature, fruit producing pear tree, this private outdoor retreat is ideal for gardening, entertaining, pets, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon.
