The Old, the New, and the Timeless


Dating to 1780, the home belonged to a well-known sea captain.

The historic Captain Sylvester Pond House has been renovated from top to bottom by the well-known Madison architect Duo Dickinson with an appealing blend of the old and the new.

The house has a lovely farmhouse kitchen and an airy family-room addition with a fireplace.

The location, on Branford Point, has a timeless appeal. French doors lead to a stone patio and hot tub with expansive views of the Branford River and the tidal marsh. Branford Beach is is a short jaunt away.

The house is on a one-acre lot that can be subdivided; intact, the total price is $990,000.

This home is being offered for sale by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices for $675,000. For more information or a showing, contact Linda Acevedo at 203-376-0835.
