Watch the Boats Pass By

This house is just the thing for anyone who wants to downsize. At just over 1,600 square feet, with three bedrooms and two full baths, there’s still plenty of space for guests but beware – once your guests walk into the house and see the view from the ample deck, they may never want to leave.

58 Quintard Avenue is waterfront property, looking over the Norwalk River harbor. The Norwalk River is a busy commercial one and you could sit on the deck and look at the changing scene all day long, starting with the early morning exodus of the fishing fleet and followed shortly by a flotilla of rowing shells from the four different clubs dotted along the banks upstream.

The house is an absolute charmer, a sort of country-cottage-by-the-sea. A tall fence provides total privacy from the road and neighbors. The property is less than half an acre, but each part of the garden is packed with flowerbeds and landscaping. The interior is open and almost loft-like, with rooms flowing into each other. And all have views of the river.

If you like the idea of living by the water and within walking distance of the train and restaurants, take a look at this sweet little house. Asking price is $899,000.
