Sun-Filled 2BR in Bethany Wine Fridge, Hardwood Floors, Massive Attic Storage, Tankless Hot Water Step into this sun-drenched 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment on the second floor of a well-maintained 3-Family Cape Cod-style country home in Bethany, CT a tight-knit rural community rated Connecticut's #1 Small Town by Connecticut Magazine and ranked among the Top 50 Best Places to Live in the state by Niche. Every room fills with natural light. The large eat-in kitchen offers ample countertop space and a built-in wine fridge a rare touch you won't find in most rentals. Hardwood floors run throughout the entire unit, and a tankless hot water system means you'll never run out of hot water. The second-floor location gives you added privacy and quiet no footsteps overhead, and the elevated position brings in even more light. The home's heating system was updated to a high-efficiency system with very low operating costs, and Nest thermostats give you smart control over your comfort and energy bills from your phone. Storage is a standout here. Three closets plus a private, massive attic and crawl space give you the kind of storage most apartments simply can't offer. Whether you're downsizing from a house or just want room to breathe, you won't run out of space. Bethany's award-winning school district is a major draw. Bethany Community School (elementary) and Bethany Middle School are both less than a mile down the road, and the district consistently scores well above the state average. Bethany is a rare find for renters: a quiet, safe community where 96% of residents are homeowners, and you're surrounded by nature not noise. Yet you're centrally located between Rt 8, I-84, I-91, the Merritt Parkway, and I-95, putting New Haven, Waterbury, and the shoreline all within easy reach. This is a peaceful, owner-operated property where the landlord lives nearby and personally maintains the home. If you value a calm, well-kept living environment, you'll feel right at home here. There are virtually no other apartments available in Bethany.
