Branford, Conn. (October 21, 2016) — William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty announced today that Tony Nuzzo of the firm’s Madison, Conn., brokerage represented all parties in the highest combined sale in nearly a decade for the Thimble Islands, an archipelago comprised of small islands in the Long Island Sound in Branford, Conn. The three lots together represent the single largest combined parcel sold since the record-breaking Rogers Island sale in 2003, and were purchased for a total of $2,700,000, marking the highest sale in the Thimble Islands since 2007.
The recently sold properties, located at 1, 3 and 4 Bear Island, encompass a total of 5.1 acres of waterfront land. 1 Bear Island includes a 1930 bungalow in a serene setting, overlooking coastal sunset views. Lot 3 contains a contemporary deck house and antique guest cottage, which was purchased from Yale University, and moved from its original location on Branford’s Horse Island. The final property, located at 4 Bear Island, is an approved building lot, offering 1.7 acres of scenic views.
“It was an honor to be a part of this record-breaking Thimble Islands sale,” said Nuzzo. “This is the first time the property has sold since its original purchase in 1930. The land is so incredibly unique, boasting extensive acreage, which is unusual for the Thimble Islands. It’s a one-of-a-kind purchase, and I wish the new owners nothing but the best.”
Tony Nuzzo has been involved in real estate for 30 years. He is experienced in the Shoreline area of Connecticut, as well as New Haven and Middlesex Counties. Nuzzo has a degree in finance/economics from Fordham University, and is a REALTOR® Institute graduate, accomplished landscape designer and certified relocation specialist.
