Easy, one-level living with the Connecticut Shoreline just down the road. This 2-bedroom condo in North Branford puts everything you need on a single floor, and it's filled with natural light from windows on three sides. Warm wood-look floors run through the open living room, where a pass-through breakfast bar keeps you connected to the kitchen. The kitchen has oak cabinetry, plenty of counter space, and a door out to your own private balcony, the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine overlooking open green space and mature trees. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans and generous closets, and the larger bedroom offers two full double-door closets. In-unit laundry, gas forced-air heat, and central air make everyday life simple, and the association takes care of the outside so your weekends stay yours. Spend Saturday mornings at the Branford Green, take a boat tour of the Thimble Islands from Stony Creek, or explore the shoreline's beaches, farm stands, and trails. Commuting is easy too, with quick access to Route 80, Route 1, and I-95, and New Haven is a short drive away. Whether it's your first place or a low-maintenance home base, this is affordable, move-right-in living in a quiet, established community.
