About This Home
If you are looking for a unique, character-filled cottage with river views and beach rights in East Haven, look no further. A great full-time water residence or weekend getaway. Original hardwood floors carry the charm through every room, and when it's chilly, curl up by the fireplace with a good book while the ever-changing water views do the rest. Upstairs, the primary bedroom shares in those views alongside a second bedroom and a full bath, while a half bath rounds out the main level. A deck off the back invites you to enjoy the scenery and wildlife, bordering the Bradford Preserve bird sanctuary. Enjoy private beach rights at Four Beaches, launch a kayak right from the property, or take advantage of the rights to build your own dock. Flood insurance runs approximately $1,300/year. Minutes to downtown East Haven and a short drive to New Haven, Yale, and the train station. A home that feels like a vacation, every day.
