Property Description

RARE MIXED USE OPPORTUNITY!! Just two blocks from downtown Branford-ideal for investors or owner-users seeking income and flexibility. This 3,416SF property, on three levels, formerly operated as an established orthodontist practice (retired in December) with two income-producing residential apartments above, offering multiple revenue streams and cash flow potential. Set on a generous .25-acre parcel with parking for 9 vehicles and serene marsh views, the location combines walkable downtown shopping / dining convenience with a peaceful natural backdrop. The building was thoughtfully renovated in 1996-97 and features a new roof (2025), public water, public sewer, AC (1st floor) and oil heat. Whether you're looking to continue the current use, relocate your own practice while collecting rent, or explore redevelopment possibilities (covert 1st floor into 1 - 2 apartments), or convert back to a single family use, this prime Branford address delivers location, visibility, and versatility. Easy access to I-95, the shoreline, and all that downtown Branford has to offer.
