Fully Renovated Beach-Block Duplex - Water Views, Three Houses to the Sand Opportunity knocks on Merwin Avenue. This completely reimagined two-family sits just three houses from beach access, offering true water views, a turnkey renovation, and the kind of income flexibility that rarely comes to market in Milford's beach district. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt from the ground up, the home features a new roof, new siding, new windows, and all-new mechanicals - plus additional living space added during the renovation. Two separate units, one on each level, each offering 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Inside, both units live bright and open. Wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout, recessed lighting and a sleek linear electric fireplace anchor the living area, and the sun-drenched dining nook - wrapped in windows on three sides - frames views of Long Island Sound. Kitchens are finished with contemporary slab-front cabinetry, quartz counters, a peninsula island with seating, stainless appliances, and open display shelving. Bedrooms are well-proportioned with generous closets and custom built-in shelving. Baths feature walk-in showers, shaker vanities, and a full-size stacked washer and dryer in every unit. Central air and separate systems per unit keep things comfortable and simple. Outside: fresh landscaping, a private second-floor balcony with water views, a covered rear entry, and off-street parking - a genuine rarity this close to the water. The upside is the story here. Projected rents of $3,000+/month per unit make this a strong buy-and-hold, an ideal live-in-one/rent-the-other play, or a high-performing short-term rental in one of Connecticut's most in-demand summer beach markets. Walnut Beach shops and restaurants, Silver Sands State Park, downtown Milford Green, and the Metro-North station are all minutes away. Nothing left to do but pick up the keys - and decide whether you're the landlord, the host, or both. Highlights 2-family: 2 BR / 1 BA per unit, one unit per floor Beach access three houses away | Water views Fully renovated: new roof, siding, windows, mechanicals, added square footage Central air, in-unit laundry, electric fireplaces, quartz kitchens Off-street parking, private balcony, new landscaping Projected rent $3,000+/month per unit - ideal Airbnb or live/rent
