OWN NEAR MILFORD FOR LESS. Incredible, direct waterfront home with detached garage/loft space! Nicknamed The Mermaid House, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath, open concept Cape is set back off the main road. The home boasts many newer updates- kitchen cabinets, GE Profile appliances, granite counter, Bain luxury jetted soaking tub, bathroom tile and shower doors, fresh paint, entire roof, decks and railings, Rheem furnace and AO Smith on demand, tankless hot water heater to name a few. Hardwood floors throughout. NOTHING TO DO BUT MOVE RIGHT IN! The front of the house is all glass (windows and a slider) for maximum water views. The multi-level deck has all you'll need for entertaining and outdoor fun - teak lounge chaises, 5 person, TermoSpa hot tub and Weber gas grill. The water is just steps from the deck, beyond the fenced-in grass area with cooling shade tree and fire pit. A rock sea wall divides the front of the property from the water, keeping the home quiet and private. A real bonus, the loft above the detached garage is a perfect spot away from the main house and just waiting for your special touch. Great first home, vacation spot or use for Airbnb (report of successful Airbnb history available upon request). Flood Insurance Quote is under $1,000 annually (see attached supplement). Close to South Street Beach, 1.25m to Yale's West Campus, numerous restaurants and shopping, and just 3 miles to West Haven's new state of the art rail system to NYC.
