Classic beach-house charm meets thoughtful modern updates at 35 Willow Street in Milford's Fort Trumbull Beach area. Just two blocks from the beach and approximately a half-mile walk to the Milford Green and harbor, this character-filled Colonial offers an inviting blend of New England architecture, everyday comfort, and shoreline living. Cheerful yellow siding, crisp white trim, a distinctive gambrel roof, and a welcoming covered front porch set the tone. Inside, painted beadboard ceilings, exposed beams, traditional crown molding, and substantial window trim preserve the home's timeless appeal. Italian limestone finishes in the kitchen and bath complement carefully selected appointments, including a Bosch dishwasher, Newport Brass faucet, Rohl shower fixture, Casablanca ceiling fans, and Hinkley lighting. Thoughtful improvements extend beyond the finishes. Hardie board siding, spray foam attic insulation, and a high-efficiency condensing gas boiler enhance the home's construction and comfort. Four heating zones include radiant floor heating on the first two levels and baseboard heating on the third, with piping already in place for a future basement zone. A walk-up attic offers additional flexible space and abundant storage. Outside, a reclaimed brick patio, custom firepit with blower, dedicated grilling area, and built-in outdoor shower create a setting for gathering after a day at the beach. Raised garden beds, three varieties of established blueberry bushes, raspberry bushes, and a three-bin compost system add appeal for garden enthusiasts. A hot-and-cold outdoor spigot, additional garden water access, and outdoor electrical outlets provide practical convenience. A detached one-car garage and private driveway complete the property. With Fort Trumbull Beach, the yacht club, and Silver Sands boardwalk nearby, this distinctive home brings together classic coastal character, thoughtful upgrades, and access to the best of Milford's shoreline lifestyle.
