About 538 Second Ave 2nd Fl
Second-floor 4-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with a bonus office at 538 Second Avenue in West Haven, Connecticut. This is a pretty spacious unit with a layout that gives you options. There are multiple full-size bedrooms, plus an extra room that works well as an office or smaller bedroom. A lot of the apartment has hardwood floors, and the bedrooms get good natural light with multiple windows. The kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, a full appliance setup, and enough room to actually move around and use it comfortably. You also get a second-floor porch, which is a nice bonus for some outdoor space, along with off-street parking. The location is easy to work with day to day. You're not far from the shoreline and West Haven Beach, and just a short drive into New Haven, Connecticut for restaurants, shopping, and commuting.
