Step into a home that feels like time well kept. This mid-century modern retreat channels the best of the era-clean lines, walls of glass, and an easy indoor-outdoor rhythm-set within one of Branford's most coveted enclaves, Pine Orchard. Perfectly sited on 1.79 acres with direct access to Griffins Pond, the property lives like a private resort: sun-washed decks, an in-ground pool, and leafy perimeter plantings that wrap the grounds in calm. Inside, timeless design takes center stage. Nearly every room opens through sliders to the decks and yard, inviting breezes, morning light, and sunset glow. The flexible layout offers space for how you live now: 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a welcoming family room, and a quiet study-ideal for work, play, or weekend guests. Host with ease; the flow is effortless from kitchen to decks to pool, while the pond becomes your backdrop for paddling, birdwatching, or simply unwinding. Here, privacy isn't an afterthought-it's the point. Tuck into a book by the pond, throw open the sliders for an alfresco dinner on the decks, or spend all afternoon lounging poolside. This is a home to experience, not just tour-a one-of-a-kind mid-century setting within an exceptional neighborhood.
