    What's special

    Welcome to Shell Avenue, one of Milford's treasured beachside streets in Fort Trumbull. Spacious Nantucket style Colonial home with hardwood floors, wainscoting, large windows for sun-filled rooms and many opportunities to catch views of Long Island Sound just across the street. The front porch is a perfect welcome and great place to relax & enjoy the off-shore breeze. Entertaining is a pleasure from the sunken living room to the adjoining spacious family room to the formal dining room. The kitchen offers plenty of counter space and cabinets for storage. There is a breakfast bar and space for a kitchen table for quick meals with garden views and access to a patio. Off the kitchen is a full bath and laundry - a convenience for after beach cleanup. The Master Bedroom suite, 3 additional bedrooms and full bath occupy the second floor and there is a walk-up attic offering further expansion room with great views of the water. The Master Bedroom enjoys its own private deck to catch the sunrise or the full moon casting jewels on the evening tide, a wonderful place for morning coffee or relax with a book in the afternoon. The Master bedroom features a walk-in closet & spa-like full bath of Carrera marble tile in separate shower, double sink vanity and designer soaking tub. Access to the sandy beach is steps from the front porch, and you'll enjoy the short walk or bike ride to Milford Yacht Club, Milford Green and Milford Train Station. Flood insurance is not required.
