Description

We live in Chicago, and spent a year at Yale 2 years ago. We lived in Stony Creek and absolutely feel in love with it. So much that we bought a summer house there to return to every summer! We hope we can help others working at Yale or in the area fall in love with this gorgeous part of the world as well! The home is designed for finding peace, creating family fun and memories, and enjoying nature, all just a short drive from New Haven! Some of these photos are taken before our furniture was added, so please reach out for updated photos.

Comments: Beautiful, clean, custom home with marsh views, fire places, movie theater, gazebo and seasonal pool. Perfect for families. Only 25 minutes to Yale. We purchased this home to function as a summer home and an academic/writing retreat. It is the perfect set up for any family or person looking for a natural landscape to think and work and enjoy nature, but is very close by to New Haven and shoreline towns.
