Pretty curb appeal on a quiet street-just in time for summer! This beautifully and thoughtfully updated home is ideally located just steps to the sandy beach, with a short stroll to great restaurants and access to a popular boardwalk perfect for walking, jogging, and cycling. A covered front porch welcomes you into a sun-filled open floor plan featuring gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen shines with pretty white cabinetry, honed granite countertops, new stainless-steel appliances, and a breakfast bar, with easy access to a deck offering water views and refreshing ocean breezes. The fenced rear yard provides a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining. The first floor includes two bedrooms (one with water views) and a remodeled full bath with a tub/shower enclosure. Stairs to the finished attic/loft offers flexible space ideal for a guest bedroom or home office. The lower level adds even more living space along with an additional full bath with a stall shower. Additional highlights include low-maintenance cedar-impression vinyl siding, gas heat, new central air, and a one-car garage. Perfect as a starter home, downsizing option with one-level living, weekend retreat, or a savvy investment property. Conveniently located with close proximity to New Haven and the Metro-North train for easy commuting.
