Spectacular Waterfront with Views Across Long Island Sound
|
The spectacular panorama of Long Island Sound suddenly opens before you. It takes your breath away! This hilltop setting is protected by open, level lawns preserved by deed restriction to ensure these views will be there forever. The driveway curves to the entrance with lovely stone walls and a terrace leading to the curved portico with a copper roof and the door with divided sidelights. The center hall with its gracious stairway, a powder room and a wet bar opens to the principal rooms - a turn to the right goes into the spacious living room with a fireplace and compelling views seemingly forever across the Sound through a wide, south-facing bay window as well as two other exposures to the east and to the west. Straight ahead is the view across the cove from the bay window in the warmly panelled library with a fireplace adjoining the wonderful step-down solarium with a high ceiling and walls of glass to the south and to the east to frame the views. The formal dining room has a bay window and the country kitchen has large windows which look across the harbor with picturesque boats bobbing at anchor - the view from the breakfast table is a joyful way to start any day and indigo hour in the evening is marvelous. The laundry room even has this delightful view, and the main-floor bedroom and bathroom have views as well. Upstairs is the master wing adjoining a large deck with panoramic views off the hall, a comfortable bedroom, a dressing room and a nice bathroom, plus there are three additional bedrooms, each with two exposures. The lower level is a large and dry basement, easily developed into a room, and a two-car garage. The well established landscaping is memorable with lush lawns, substantial azaleas in full bloom, beautiful trees and an exquisite flagstone terrace.
