About This 1900 Waterfront House For Sale In Branford Connecticut

THIMBLE ISLAND DREAM ESCAPE A STONE’S THROW AWAY FROM MAINLAND & 14 MILES FROM THE HAMPTONS! Leave the hustle & bustle of everyday life behind w/your own 1.04 ACRE patch of paradise in the fabled Thimble Islands. Offered fully furnished & includes 2 acres of deeded adjacent shellfish beds. NEW ROOF, NEW SEAWALL w/expanded grassy yard, NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEM, NEW pink granite wall, NEW complete freshly painted exterior, SOLAR, and more!

Easily accessed from charming Stony Creek & just a 10-min drive from dock to I-95, you’ll feel a world away on Beldens Island. Get whisked away w/enchanting views of Long Island Sound & the quiet, protected archipelago coastline once used as a treasure trove for pirates. Up from the private dock & sandy beach awaits indigenous pink granite stone walls, a rolling green lawn w/irrigation, & perfectly placed shade trees.

Step back in time when entering the well-preserved c.1912 7-room cottage richly adorned w/vintage hardwood floors & wainscotted walls & ceilings that lends a maritime feel. Country kitchen w/4-burner gas stone w/griddle, refrigerator, coal stove, & butler’s pantry. Outdoor built-in gas grill makes summer BBQs & alfresco dining a breeze. Enjoy meals in the spacious combined dining/living room anchored by stone fireplace. Sparkling water reflections from surrounding windows gives the impression that one is levitating above the sea.

Take in spectacular sunsets & 360-degrees views from the expansive wrap around covered porches before cozying up by another stone fireplace in the South-facing living room. Two staircases lead upstairs revealing 4 sizeable bedrooms. The home is comfortably serviced by 2 full bathrooms, one on each floor. Generator ready and solar system for electricity consumption. City water connected. Large shed for additional storage.

Connecticut coastal living doesn’t get much better than this! Location makes for easy boating access with private watercraft or Thimble Island water taxi, or ferry from Stony Creek dock and close proximity to Pine Orchard Yacht & Country Club. Between Boston & New York, 75 miles to Manhattan, and 10 minutes to New Haven. Get your own private island and still be able to catch the train into the city with nearby Amtrak and Metro North stations and plane travel from Tweed New Haven Airport. Good vibes happen on the tides! Also serves as a tremendous opportunity for rental income.
