It's true! Yes, you can own an island just two hours from midtown Manhattan!
Here are two properties currently available in the legendary Thimble Islands off the coast of Branford. Imagine your own island paradise within commuting distance of Times Square. Wake up to 360 degree views of Long Island Sound. This could be your weekend itinerary: take the train from Grand Central Station to New Haven. Pick up your car at the station's parking garage. Pick up groceries at the Stop and Shop in Branford on your way to the marina where your Boston Whaler is moored. 10 minutes later you're on your island paradise for a weekend of relaxation, barbecues, cocktails and rest, a world away from the madness of Manhattan.
These two Thimble Island homes are priced at $4,339,000 and a whopping $29,995,000:
For nearly twenty years, I've helped New York City and Boston renters stop waiting for "someday" and start owning a place of their own. As a former Manhattan renter myself (West 82nd Street), I know that buying a weekend retreat isn't just about escaping the city. It's often the first step toward building equity while continuing to enjoy the city life you love.
That's the idea behind Buy Your Second Home First. Sometimes the smartest first home is the one everyone else thinks should come second.
