    What's special

    Flip-flop ready and full of coastal charm, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits less than a mile from West Haven's beaches-with a public boat ramp right at the end of the street. Also on the first floor is a bonus room that is currently being used as a fourth bedroom, or it can be an office or workout room. The first floor bathroom was fully remodeled in 2025, and both the front porch and back porch roof were updated in 2021 and 2024. Inside, you'll find a bright, functional layout with 1,465 sq ft of easy living-plenty of room to relax, entertain, or escape to your own corner of calm. The backyard is BBQ-friendly and ready for your summer setup. No central air, but open windows and coastal breezes do the trick. An unfinished basement adds bonus space for storage or hobbies. Located near a brand-new elementary school and just minutes to grocery stores, shopping, and local restaurants, this spot keeps life convenient and connected. A solid mix of location, updates, and beach-town ease-your West Haven lifestyle starts here. Additional parking options in back of house. Please note: This property is not eligible for FHA or VA financing. Cash, Conventional, or 203(k) renovation loans only.
