In Contract: 84 Hickory Street, West Haven

Newlywed first-time buyers are in contract on 84 Hickory Street in West Haven — and we avoided a bidding war entirely. A cape in the West Shore neighborhood, half a mile from the beach, in a walkable coastal community.

Tucked into the sought-after West Shore neighborhood and just half a mile from the beach, this charming cape is all about potential and lifestyle. Set in a walkable, coastal community, it offers the kind of laid-back charm and convenience that’s perfect for starting a new chapter.

From backyard basketball games to weekend walks by the water, this home is full of possibilities. With flexible spaces like a breezeway entrance, bonus basement, and fully finished gym, there’s plenty of room to make it their own—now and for years to come.

Helping first-time buyers land their dream home is always a milestone—and we’re so honored to be part of this one.

Cheers to new beginnings, life near the water, and the exciting road to homeownership!
