About This Home

As of February 2025

Nestled in the charming and historic community of Stony Creek, Branford, this beautifully remodeled quarry house is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Situated on a spacious 0.7-acre lot atop Bowhay Hill Road, the home boasts approximately 1,065 square feet of living space, featuring 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The location is truly remarkable, offering picturesque winter views of the Thimble Islands and close proximity to the Stony Creek harbor. This 1890 wooden-frame house, one of the original buildings in the area, has been thoughtfully updated with a modern kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, and an open-concept living and dining area complete with hardwood floors. The light-filled interior seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings, providing an ideal setting for those who appreciate stunning sunsets and expansive views. Stony Creek is a vibrant seaside village, rich in history and cultural attractions. The property is within walking distance to the town beach, marina, parks, and the Legacy Theater. The Washburn-Weil trailhead is nearby, offering a beautiful system of hiking trails that connect to Pine Orchard and Guilford. Residents will enjoy the close-knit community, with morning walks by the harbor, views of the Thimble Islands, and meet-ups at locally-owned shops. The area is also home to the Willoughby Wallace Library, Stony Creek Museum, Stony Creek Boating Association, and several quaint dining and shopping options.
