We lived in this home last fall and watched a spectacular autumn unfold over the waters of Stony Creek. The house fit our needs perfectly (including visits from family). The house is uniquely located overlooking the thimble islands and remnants of an old trolley line that runs from Pine Orchard to the Creek. On Sundays, we'd walk that trolley line and encounter old friends from the New Haven area. This home is magical and we remember it fondly. It is breathtakingly beautiful.
