JUST SOLD | 103 Peck Road, Bethany

Some homes are more than just a place to live, and this one was exactly that. After more than six decades in the same family, 103 Peck Road held a lifetime of memories, and saying goodbye was no easy thing for the sellers.

We listed it, opened the doors for three days of showings, and the response was incredible. Multiple strong offers came in, and in the end the sellers found exactly what they were hoping for: a family who will love this beautiful, one of a kind property and carry on the tradition of caring for it.

Congratulations to everyone involved. Grateful to have been part of this next chapter for such a special home.

Privacy, quiet, and options galore. 🌲

168 Turkey Hill in Haddam is your chance to build the private estate you've been picturing. Beautiful land, tucked into nature, but still an easy drive to town and the highway. Prior approvals were in place for a home, so you're not starting from scratch.

Come see what your own nature getaway could look like.

That's not a coincidence.

These homes became incredibly popular during Connecticut's suburban growth in the 1950s–1970s. They were relatively economical to build, worked well on our rolling, rocky landscape, and offered a lot of usable living space without requiring a much larger footprint.

Another interesting factor is that, in many towns, the lower level often wasn't assessed the same way as fully above-grade living space. That meant homeowners could sometimes gain additional functional square footage without seeing the same increase in assessed value as adding a full second story.

Today, they're some of the most recognizable home styles across New Haven County. While they aren't everyone's favorite layout, they can offer a surprising amount of space and value.

One thing that surprises a lot of homeowners is that some older homes were built using lumber that would be difficult to find today.

Much of the framing lumber used decades ago came from older, slower-growing trees, which produced denser wood with tighter growth rings.

That doesn't automatically make every old home better, and there are certainly plenty of newer homes that are exceptionally well built.

But it's one reason some older homes can have that solid feel people often notice when they walk through the door.

As someone who spends a lot of time in homes of all ages across New Haven County, it's one of those little details I find interesting.

Have you ever noticed something about an older home that just feels different?

Full of warmth, history, and character, this charming early 20th-century home sits on a truly one-of-a-kind property. Cherished by the same family since 1963, it has been lovingly maintained while preserving the details that make it special: real hardwood floors, original woodwork and doors, abundant natural light, and freshly painted interior and exterior spaces. Upstairs you'll find four generously sized bedrooms plus a small bonus room with built-in cabinetry, perfect for a study or hobby space. The main level offers a flexible room ideal for a home office or den, though for more than six decades it's simply been known as "the music room." A spacious, dry basement that served for years as the previous owner's workshop adds even more possibilities, and a full, easy-access attic provides excellent storage. Outside, the setting shines with a huge, flat yard, a picturesque stone wall along Bethmour Road, and a vernal pool long enjoyed for winter skating. The insulated detached garage has its own oil furnace, making a true all-season workshop with additional space upstairs. A single-layer roof installed in 2014 adds peace of mind. Clover Nook Farm is just a walk away for fresh produce and more. Located in the award-winning Amity School District, this isn't a cookie-cutter home; it's a special place with room to live, create, gather, and make your own. A home this loved doesn't come along often.

One thing we've noticed this summer after replacing our windows over the winter is how much cooler parts of the house feel during the day.

Most people think newer windows only help because they're better insulated.

That's part of it, but many modern windows also use Low-E coatings that help reflect heat from the sun before it enters the home.

The result?

Less solar heat gain, a more comfortable house, and potentially less work for your air conditioning system.

I knew the science behind it, but I wasn't expecting the difference to be this noticeable.

Have you noticed any home upgrades that worked better than you expected?

Successful closing in Oxford Greens! 🏡⛳

A special thank you to my past clients for trusting me once again—this marks the third transaction we've completed together. Relationships like these are what make this business so rewarding.

The timing was especially fun on this one. I happened to drive past one of my listings on the way to the 18th tee at Oxford Greens and thought, "I know that house!" It's always great seeing clients reach their next chapter while staying connected to the community.

Had the chance to take a 1967 Porsche 911 up to Vermont recently.

The route took us up scenic Route 8 through Connecticut and Massachusetts, and while a '67 911 definitely isn't as fast as the Porsches of today, it makes up for it with character.

No screens, no driver aids, no distractions. Just a great road, a great car, and a reminder that sometimes the journey really is the best part.
Anyone else have a favorite New England driving road?
