A Historic Gem


The Milestone House is rich in history, with connections to Ben Franklin, Abraham Pierson, and Jared Eliot.

This home is so historic that it even has its own name. The Milestone House was marked by Benjamin Franklin as being 25 miles from New Haven and lived in by Jared Eliot. Yale’s first classes were taught right across the street.

Inside, the home has been renovated for modern convenience while still maintaining its historic charm. A large fireplace complements the open floor plan. The kitchen includes granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. In addition to it being a one-of-a-kind home, homeowners can walk to the town beach and marinas.

This home is being offered for sale by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties for $999,000. There is also an option to buy for $1,200,000 which includes a .51 acre river-view back lot.
