Welcome to this bright and beautifully updated Cape Cod set along one of Branford's scenic shoreline byways at 137 South Montowese Street. Nestled in a historic, highly desirable neighborhood, this home offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and modern comfort, just minutes from the Long Island Sound, Owenego Beach Club, and an easy commute to New Haven. Enjoy a walkable lifestyle with restaurants, bars, and a local brewery nearby, plus a wonderful park just around the corner and access to a strong school district. Best of all, the home is not in a flood zone, offering peace of mind while still being close to the water. Inside, the home is bright, open, and thoughtfully updated. The remodeled kitchen is light-filled and inviting, featuring newer appliances including a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and wine/beer fridge, all replaced within the last four years. Major improvements include a one-year-old roof, a high-efficiency HVAC system with new thermostats, heat pump, and natural gas furnace, along with comprehensive insulation upgrades in the attic, basement, and crawl space. The crawl space has been fully encapsulated, and a sump pump was added to the basement for added protection. Set on a larger-than-average lot for the neighborhood, this home offers rare outdoor space in an exceptional coastal setting.
