Enchantingly renovated home originally built in 1780 to build boats and later owned by prominent businessman T.J. Toole, who used the structure as a carriage house, part of the main residence next door. The granite markers in the front and back of the home, bearing the initials TJT engraved on them, were originally used as stoops to board carriages. Complete renovation took place in 2009 / 2010 when the structure was taken down to the studs. One of the original beams is still present between the kitchen and dining rooms as are some of the original kitchen windows. The family room is filled with light through large boathouse doors that were tastefully remilled as windows during the renovation. This unique home boasts an open floor plan anchored by a granite kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is a studio with separate entrance sitting across from a beautifully updated full bath; offering up multiple potential uses. Upstairs two full bedroom suites welcome you as well as a large landing area at the top of the stairs and sitting room off of the master bedroom. There is a small attic accessing the steeple which can easily be illuminate at night along with other outdoor lighting which supports two different outdoor entertainment areas, including a Brazilian hardwood, IPE deck . This home is truly unique within walking distance of the Long Island Sound and across from the Branford River. Branford's Town Green is about a two minute drive from the home as is the Branford train station.
