Milford’s Beach Shore Village at the Forefront of Walnut Beach Renaissance
MILFORD, CT – July 26, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Longtime Milford residents can recall the days when Walnut Beach, known for its dance halls and amusement parks, was the perfect date night destination. Today, the amusement parks are gone, but the neighborhood is enjoying a renaissance as an artists’ community as well as a beach destination.
Fifty-one new condominiums there are being marketed by the New Homes Division of William Raveis Real Estate, Mortgage & Insurance. Beach Shore Village, which sits directly across the street from Walnut Beach, affords its residents sunrise views over Long Island Sound and the ultimate beach lifestyle.
“Beach Shore Village offers unparalleled value and makes waterfront living in New Haven County affordable,” said Sales Director Bobby Vargo. “Homebuyers who get in now still have time to pick their finishes ̶ countertops, kitchen cabinetry and flooring ̶ to customize their home the way they’d like. To be able to purchase new construction for between $250,000 and $399,000 is practically unheard of this close to some great beaches,” Vargo added. “It’s a fantastic value.”
At Walnut Beach, visitors can enjoy views of Charles Island and even walk there at low tide. The beach features a fishing pier and one of Connecticut’s longest boardwalks. Contributing to the family atmosphere are the sandcastle contests that are held there each summer, along with the pavilion and picnic benches with canopies. It’s no wonder that many Beach Shore Village residents feel like they’re on vacation every day.
Beach Shore Village offers two- and three-bedroom homes, each with two full baths. There are a wide variety of floor plans available ranging in size from 1,314 to 2,100 square feet. Some units have a study, some have an attic and some have an attached garage. Each unit has a balcony or patio. The community offers maintenance-free exterior vinyl siding, cathedral ceilings in the living room and master bedrooms, central air and natural gas heat. Standard features include energy-efficient stainless steel appliances, granite countertops in the kitchen and a mix of hardwood floors, tile and wall-to-wall carpeting.
Beach Shore Village is evocative of a Mystic-style colonial village atmosphere with its brick pavers and old-style street lamps. The city’s master plan calls for artist lofts and a mix of storefronts on the first floor of the townhouses. Meanwhile, a former firehouse on the corner has been turned into an art gallery by the Milford Arts Council, and two additional galleries have set up shop across the street. The nearby Walnut Beach Creamery, in the old Walnut Beach Post Office, makes gourmet ice cream on the premises.
Milford is also home to Silver Sands State Park. There are no less than seven beaches less than five miles away from Beach Shore Village.
