About this home

A rare opportunity on the Quinnipiac River. This historic 1810 Oyster House was thoughtfully restored in 1988 and further updated in 2000, blending period character with modern comfort. The property includes a 30foot fixed pier with an aluminum ramp to a floating dock, plus the potential for four pile moorings extending 200 feet into the navigable channel - a dream setup for boat owners.

Located in the Fair Haven Historic District, the home features four working fireplaces, wide plank hardwood floors, custom storm windows, updated mechanicals, and many original details. The main level offers a combined living and dining room with French doors to the deck, an updated kitchen, and a bedroom or den. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a full bath with a steam shower. The lower level family room has radiant heat porcelain floors, a full bath with laundry, and French doors...
