***A work-from-home dream: Enclosed porch and gorgeous finished attic not included in SF.*** Welcome to 55 E Main St, a beautifully sunlit bungalow nestled in the heart of Branford's walkable downtown. Just steps from the town green, local cafes, shops, and restaurants, this home offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and everyday convenience. Inside, you'll find warm hardwood floors throughout, complementing the natural light that fills every room. The updated kitchen features elegant quartz countertops and a gorgeous tile backsplash, offering both style and function, while the living areas and enclosed front porch create a welcoming atmosphere. The home's standout features is the fully finished walk-up attic - an ideal space for a home office, yoga retreat, art studio, or playroom. No need to use it for storage because there's a full basement for your personal items. Outside, the large, level backyard invites outdoor gatherings, gardening, or simply unwinding in your own oasis. The house has a brand new roof and gutters (2025) and the shared driveway will be paved this spring. See the site plan in the documents. *Please note - the neighboring property is undergoing a full remodel, including an exterior transformation - enhancing the overall charm and value of the street. If you're looking for a home that blends character, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, 55 E Main St is a must-see. Agent owner.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
