For the first time in nearly two decades, a Branford treasure returns to the market-welcome to 55-69 Sawmill Road, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Connecticut's rich heritage. Originally a 19th-century sawmill, this stone estate was transformed into a residence in the 1930s, thoughtfully incorporating the original mill structure, and is nestled beside a breathtaking waterfall, framed by over two acres of pristine tidal creekfront and lush woodlands. Moments from the historic waterfront village of Stony Creek, this timeless property blends old-world charm with everyday living. The 3000+ square foot main home, built in 1939, offers 3-4 bedrooms, three full baths, and four original fireplaces. The main level features an eat-in kitchen, a sprawling great room with a fireplace, a dining area with stunning nature and water views, a den with a fireplace, three bedrooms, two baths, and a four-season porch leading to a patio. On the ground floor, discover a full bath, wine storage, a large walk-in closet, and two flexible rooms with fireplaces and water views-one ideal as an additional bedroom. Stone patios, terraces by the waterfall, garden paths, and a private pier offer a front-row seat to the natural splendor. New central A/C in 2025. Across the lane, a second parcel of land includes a two-car garage and a charming two-room building, perfect as a guest cottage, artist studio, or office. 55-69 Sawmill Road is a rare legacy property waiting to be claimed.
