Waterfront with Views Across Long Island Sound
|
A white picket fence with a gate is at the entrance. The level property is park-like with beautiful gardens and the tallest cherry tree in town which has fabulous blooms when Spring begins. The verandah with major wood columns overlooks the tranquil garden and the front door is arched. In an antique brick surround, the fireplace makes the living room feel cozy, while columns separate it from the solarium with a large skylight and a fascinating carved archway surrounding a floor-to-ceiling window - a wonderful double space in which to live or entertain. Across the water side of the house is a long family room with a dining area and two exposures to the water. The country kitchen with a huge center island and top-of-the-line European cabinetry has an inviting window bay with skylights in a wooden ceiling and a lovely black and white marble floor. The library has three exposures towards the garden and a full bathroom for use as a main floor bedroom. Upstairs is the master suite with a renovated bathroom and a charming balcony with views to Long Island, while two additional bedrooms have a connecting bathroom with a whirlpool tub, currently used as a separate apartment or guest space but easily recombined. The third floor has a sitting room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a door to a huge rooftop deck with seemingly endless views all the way across the Sound - it is entrancing. In addition, there is a lower level with a sauna, a bathroom and a verandah with a hot tub. Lawns surround this house going to the water's edge with a filtered koi pond and ample room for croquet and badminton, plus there is a two-car garage. Everywhere is a sense of the water and this location is a real draw for anyone who enjoys being an easy walk from downtown and the station while being in a quiet enclave. New to market - please call for details.
