10 Selden Ave, Branford, CT 06405

One can smell the salt air and feel the presence of the beach upon the approach to this unique and stunning home on a private, bucolic street located in the coveted Pine Orchard enclave. Although it is just steps to the water, this custom residence designed by award-winning coastal architect/author Duo Dickinson is not in a flood zone. A true sanctuary awaits through a vined pergola entranceway punctuated once inside by a dramatic soaring light-filled foyer. Pictures and floor plans help describe the casual opulence in every room, but one must experience in person the exquisite details throughout this stunning home. Coffered ceilings, chef's eat-in kitchen with fireplace flowing to an outdoor dining area with fireplace and hot tub, an octagonal sitting room off the living room perched to glimpse Long Island Sound, wrap around decks and outdoor shower, secluded grand master suite with views of the Sound subtly separated from the other 3 bedrooms, and laundry on the bedroom level. The lower level includes an additional 1300 sq. ft. of finished living area which could be au pair or guest suite. There is also an oversize 2 car garage, mudroom, and utility room with ample storage. Close proximity to Pine Orchard Country Club, walking trails and convenient to I-95 and train. Currently priced below town appraised value.
