Discover this direct waterfront, turn-of-the-century beach home in the highly sought-after Cosey Beach community. Raised in 2013 to an elevation of 14.6, this home-used as a 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage-is FEMA compliant and beautifully situated on a rare double lot (200' x 50'), offering panoramic Long Island Sound views. The exterior has been updated with an architectural roof, siding shingles, Trex deck and staircase, and a 2-car garage beneath. Recent highlights include a 10-year warranty on the hot water heater, a smart smoke/CO detector system, an EZ Heat system to protect pipes in the winter, and a newly installed property fence for added privacy. Inside, enjoy hardwood floors throughout, a renovated kitchen with granite breakfast bar, tile backsplash, and stainless appliances, plus modern systems including a high-efficiency gas furnace and central air. The fenced backyard offers flexible parking and plenty of outdoor entertaining space. This property has operated as a very successful rental and presents excellent income potential for investors-or it could make the perfect primary residence or vacation escape. Cosey Beach is a quaint New England seaside community, complete with a waterfront park, pavilion, splash pad, playground, clam shack, and ice cream stand-just minutes from downtown New Haven, Yale University, hospitals, and train service, and within 90 minutes of NYC and 2 hours of Boston.
