Walk Straight Out Onto the Beach

If you’re looking for a slice of paradise on the water and in Connecticut, I’ve got just the place for you. This home combines the old world Victorian charm of pretty shingles, turrets and a wrap-around porch, with the modern conveniences of new(ish) construction. Built in 2000, the five bedroom home sits right on the beach, with fantastic views of the Sound, and comes with its own dock with mooring rights.

Are you looking for a family home? This is it. There’s a gracious master suite with many details, including a circular window seat in one of the turrets and dual closets. Three more bed/bath combos are on the second floor, and there’s a fifth bedroom with a separate entrance on the ground floor. Sounds perfect for the au-pair.

Are you also looking for a place to entertain in style? Look no further. There is a gourmet kitchen with two Sub Zero fridges, two Bosch dishwashers, a Viking range, wine bar and pantry. In short, just about everything you – or the caterers – could need. There are living rooms and dining rooms, a finished garden level set up for working out and playing billiards, and let’s not forget the porch. What a great place to sit and rock and catch the breeze.

How about a weekend hideaway? This is it – on a quiet road on the New York/Connecticut border.  Privacy, water views and everything you need to unwind from the stress of the city.
