Step into this freshly renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment on the first floor of a well-maintained home in Bethany, CT a tight-knit rural community rated Connecticut's #1 Small Town by Connecticut Magazine and ranked among the Top 50 Best Places to Live in the state by Niche. Every room in this apartment fills with natural light. The renovated kitchen features a new breakfast bar that opens up to the living room, creating an open-concept feel that's great for families or anyone who likes to cook and socialize at the same time. Ample counter space and areas to add pantry, coffee bars, etc make daily life easy. Hardwood floors run throughout the entire unit. One of the standout features is a fireplace which can support a wood-burning stove a rare find in a rental. Enjoy it as-is for ambiance on chilly evenings, or add a stove insert for supplemental heating alongside the new high-efficiency system. The heating system was updated in 2025 with very low operating costs, and Nest thermostats give you smart control over your comfort and energy bills. Step outside from the kitchen to a newly built private patio perfect for morning coffee, grilling, or letting kids play in view. At approximately 800 sq ft with a smart layout, the apartment lives larger than its footprint and comfortably accommodates up to 3 occupants. Bethany's award-winning school district is a major draw. Bethany Community School (elementary) and Bethany Middle School are both less than a mile down the road, and the district consistently scores well above the state average. Bethany is a rare find for renters: a quiet, safe community where 96% of residents are homeowners, and you're surrounded by nature not noise. Yet you're centrally located between Rt 8, I-84, I-91, the Merritt Parkway, and I-95, putting New Haven, Waterbury, and the shoreline all within easy reach. This is a peaceful, owner-operated property where the landlord lives nearby and personally maintains the home and grounds. If you value a calm, well-kept living environment, you'll feel right at home here. There are virtually no other apartments available in Bethany.
