Finding a great waterfront property isn't easy unless you work with agents who specialize in the waterfront market agents such as Doug Milne and Sheree Frank of the Home Team at Kelly Associates in Darien.
The Home Team's newest listing is an absolute stunner: a 5-year-old shingle-and-stone colonial nestled among the inlets of Long Island Sound and overlooking Noroton Harbor. The Darien Boat Club and Pear Tree Point Beach are a two-minute walk away for summer sports.
Every room in 112 Pear Point Road has views of the water. But that's not all: The house was designed with a rare sensibility to proportion. It has no cavernous rooms, just lots of interesting nooks and crannies at every turn with wonderful architectural details. The living room is a cozy haven for entertaining friends. A rope molding frames the coffered ceiling. The adjacent bookshelf-lined family room, also known as the pub room, comes with a built-in cherry-wood bar complete with working beer taps, perfect for crowds to gather. The kitchen is brilliant, designed for cooking, with all appliances within easy reach and plenty of counter space. The contrast between the exposed oak ceiling beams and wood counter on the island are a great counterpoint to sleek gray marble counters and backsplash.
The main house has four bedrooms, various sitting and playrooms and a large gym on the third floor. The basement is outfitted with a wine cellar.
The guest cottage/pool house is connected to the main house by a paved walkway. Doug Milne's favorite part of the house is on the second floor, where, at the open house, the golf simulator was set for the Par 3 seventh hole at Pebble Beach.
McKee Patterson, a principal with the Southport-based architectural firm Austin Patterson Disston, designed the house for the current owners. Nancé Vigneau of Westport curated the interior design.
The asking price for all 7,462 square feet of space at 112 Pear Tree Point Road is $7.395 million.
