Stony Creek! Imagine owning this home in a beautiful coastal community renowned for its historic seaside charm. Walk from here to the waterfront and town beach, stop to admire views of the Thimble Islands, stroll to local shops and restaurants, and even walk to the nearby library. Set on a quiet and picturesque street, this home has irresistible curb appeal. Originally built to house quarry workers, it underwent a complete remodel in the 1990's - creating a space that has been updated to modern standards yet maintains its original heart and soul. Bathed in natural light, the interior boasts hardwood floors throughout the living and dining areas on the main floor and upstairs in the hallway and bedrooms. The backyard offers a peaceful respite with a patio and just enough lawn. Look a little closer and you will notice the famous Stony Creek pink granite everywhere, from backyard steps, to around the patio, to edging along the yard. The village of Stony Creek has a rich history rooted in fishing, oyster beds, lobstering, and the quarry. It remains a vibrant and close-knit community that offers residents a museum, theater, marina, parks and so much more. Tucked away by the water yet only a couple of miles to I-95 for commuting, an easy drive to Yale campus and to trains to both New York and Boston. Experience the allure of this home and community, and you may find yourself lucky enough to become a "Creeker" too.
