86 Crest Avenue, East Haven: Updated Ranch With Flexible Living Space

Looking for an East Haven home with an updated interior, two full baths, plenty of living space, and convenient access to major commuting routes?

86 Crest Avenue offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1,832 square feet of finished living space, including a finished lower level that gives you flexibility well beyond the traditional ranch layout. The home is currently listed at $400,000.

A Living Room That Feels Like Home

One of the first spaces that stands out is the living room.

Hardwood floors, built-ins, a ceiling fan, and a fireplace give the room plenty of character. The light, neutral finishes also make it easy to imagine bringing in your own furniture and style.

It’s comfortable without feeling overly formal—the kind of room that works just as well for a quiet night at home as it does when you have guests over.

An Eat-In Kitchen With Plenty of Cabinetry

The eat-in kitchen offers a warm, traditional look with extensive wood cabinetry, generous counter space, hardwood flooring, and room for a dining table.

The kitchen includes an electric range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and disposal, so the major appliances are already in place.

And having a true eat-in kitchen means you don’t have to sacrifice another room just to create an everyday dining space.

The Finished Lower Level Is a Big Bonus

This may be one of the home’s most useful features.

The finished lower level adds approximately 800 square feet to the home’s living space. It includes a remodeled family room, a fourth bedroom with a walk-in closet, a second full bath, and a separate laundry room. The basement is also a full, finished walk-out.

That creates options. You could use the family room as a TV room, recreation area, home office, hobby space, workout area—or simply enjoy having a second place to spread out.

Two Full Baths Make a Difference

With three bedrooms on the main level and the fourth bedroom downstairs, having two full bathrooms adds everyday practicality to the floor plan.

It’s one of those features that can be easy to overlook on paper but makes a noticeable difference when you’re actually living in the home.

There’s More Outside

The property sits on approximately 0.23 acres with a lightly wooded, partially fenced lot. There’s a deck for outdoor seating or grilling, plus a detached one-car garage and private driveway.

The home has also been freshly painted, and the lower level has brand-new carpeting, helping make it ready for its next owner.

Convenient East Haven Location

86 Crest Avenue is located in the Foxon area of East Haven. Its location provides convenient access to Route 80, I-95 and I-91, along with shopping, dining and downtown New Haven.

For buyers who need access to Metro-North service, the New Haven area also provides rail connections for travel along the New Haven Line.

Is 86 Crest Avenue Worth a Look?

If you’re searching for an East Haven home that gives you more than the traditional ranch floor plan, 86 Crest Avenue deserves a closer look.

Between the inviting living room, spacious eat-in kitchen, finished lower-level family room, four bedrooms, two full baths, deck, garage, and convenient location, there’s a lot packed into this home.

Sometimes the best way to understand a property is simply to walk through it.
