A Classic Midcentury Ranch with All the Modern Conveniences


The big, private lot lies between the beach and downtown.

When our parents or grandparents were shopping for their first ranch house back in the ’50s, they didn’t expect to find this kind of comfort, space, and convenience. Although it still offers the single-level living of a classic ranch, 61 Sunset Hill Drive, in Branford, has been remodeled and updated throughout.

In addition to the three bedrooms, the main level has a den, a laundry room, and an L-shaped combined living and dining room with a dramatic stone fireplace. French doors lead to a big, southern-exposed deck. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, a commodious center island, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances.

Extra square footage is found in the finished, heated walk-out basement, which has tile floors and a second fireplace.

The house is conveniently located on a big, private lot between downtown and the Sound. Homeowners have use of the Pine Orchard Association Beach.

This home is being offered for sale by Coldwell Banker for $509,000. For more information or a showing, contact Sally Tucker at 203-671-6191.
