Discover Your Dream Waterfront Life on the Quinnipiac River!

Imagine waking each morning to golden sunlight dancing across the water, stepping onto your... private deck with coffee in hand as the river gently greets the day. Picture golden-hour sunsets painting the sky in fiery pinks and oranges while you grill on the deck or unwind with a glass of wine, the peaceful rhythm of the Quinnipiac River just steps away. This is not just a home — it’s the enchanting riverfront lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of, right here in historic Fair Haven.

Nestled along the storied banks of the Quinnipiac, where Fair Haven’s proud seafaring heritage still whispers through the neighborhood (once the heart of Connecticut’s legendary oyster industry, where schooners once delivered millions of bushels of prized Bluepoint and Saddle Rock oysters to the world), this beautifully restored Colonial offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern luxury. The tree-lined, beautifully lit streets feel like a warm embrace — a true neighborhood vibe with a close-knit sense of community that sets it apart from the bustle of New Haven proper.

Inside, natural light floods the open-concept living spaces. The stunning renovated kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring rich hardwood floors, shaker cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, gas range, and butcher-block counters — all with sweeping river views that make every meal feel like a vacation. It flows seamlessly into the dining area and out to the expansive deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living for family BBQs, sunset gatherings, or quiet evenings under the stars.

Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers water vistas, a luxurious en-suite bath with floor-to-ceiling marble, and a massive walk-in closet. A convenient first-floor bedroom and fully remodeled bath (with stylish subway tile) give you flexible options for a main-level master, guests, or home office. Generous storage awaits in the attic and additional bedroom closets — perfect for families, grad students, or medical residents settling into the Yale area.

Step outside and step into your personal waterfront paradise. The main house enjoys its own dedicated riverfront lawn and spacious private yard with plenty of room for your imagination — perfect for creating that dream fire-pit setting, outdoor gatherings, or simply soaking in the views. A shared central path leads to the active boat launch, ideal for launching kayaks, a small sailboat, or simply watching the water flow by. The space is perfect for pets to roam safely, kids to play, or simply recharging after a busy day at Yale University or Yale New Haven Hospital.

Pet-friendly and family-focused, this home is just minutes from local schools, major highways, shopping, downtown New Haven, and all the opportunities of the Yale community — making it an ideal landing spot for growing families, grad students, medical residents, and professionals who want nature’s serenity without sacrificing convenience.

Modern comforts meet historic soul:
- 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths
- In-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and full appliance package
- 2 dedicated parking spots in the private driveway plus abundant free street parking
- City water, sewer, and weekly garbage/recycling included

Live the life you’ve been longing for — where every sunrise feels like a new beginning and every sunset reminds you why you chose this place. This rare riverfront gem won’t stay available for long. Read More
