About This Home
This home truly has it all-generous living space, thoughtful updates and a perfectly level, open one-acre homesite in a highly sought-after Branford location. Step inside through the newer entry into an exceptionally spacious foyer offering easy access to both the main and lower-level living areas. Upstairs, the open-concept layout provides abundant space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is well equipped with a double oven, newer refrigerator and dishwasher (2025), tile flooring installed in 2021 and a newer slider (2022) providing easy access to the outdoors. Down the hall, the spacious primary bedroom features a private full bath and ample closet space. Two additional freshly painted bedrooms and a brand-new full bathroom complete the main level. The lower level adds even more versatility with a spacious family room featuring a fireplace, an additional full bathroom, laundry area and direct access to both the screened porch and two-car attached garage-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, guests or additional living space. Outside is where this property really shines. The level, open and private one-acre yard offers plenty of room to play, garden, entertain or simply enjoy the peaceful wooded backdrop.
