About 9 Rose Hill Road
A rare blend of historic character and modern efficiency, this circa-1900 Branford Colonial is truly move-in ready. Originally built by Branford's Birbarie family and later purchased from the original owner's granddaughter, this quintessential New England farmhouse was extensively renovated in 2016/2017 for modern living while preserving its original charm. Set on approximately .50 acre with a private backyard, the home offers 1,360 square feet of living space, three bedrooms and two full baths. The inviting eat-in kitchen features built-in bench seating overlooking the backyard, deck and pergola, creating an easy connection to the outdoor living space. Energy-conscious upgrades include an owned 3.64 kW grid-tied solar PV system (2018), Level 2 EV charger, Energy Star windows (2014), high-efficiency heat pump water heater (2022), high-efficiency dual-source heat pump HVAC system (2025), air sealing and attic insulation with 28" blown fiberglass (2010), and closed-cell spray foam wall insulation (R-25). A 35' x 35' organic vegetable garden and native-plant wet meadow landscaping complement the property's thoughtful approach to sustainable living. Too many additional improvements to list here-a comprehensive list is available. Downtown Branford, New Haven and Yale are all just minutes away, with easy access to Route 1 and I-95. Branford Station offers Shore Line East rail service, while nearby New Haven Union Station provides Metro-North and Amtrak connections for convenient
