LOCATION
Widely considered the most picturesque seaside village in
Connecticut, historic Stonington Borough is a lovingly
cared for place of narrow tree-lined streets with
stately 18th and 19th century residences, interesting
shops, and cozy restaurants. The area has an
old-fashioned ambience with neighbors who still gather
for farmers' markets, parades, and entertainment on the
square. Yet the main focus of life still revolves around
the sea.
Situated on a narrow peninsula surrounded by Fisher's
Island Sound and Little Narragansett Bay, Stonington is
home to a scenic deepwater harbor that shelters
Connecticut's last remaining commercial fishing fleet.
Also, because of its many amenities and its location at
the end of Long Island Sound, Stonington has long been
recognized as a major yachting center.
Conveniently located halfway between New York and
Boston, the area has many popular visitor attractions
including Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, and various
summer theatres. Ocean beaches, tennis, numerous golf
courses, horseback riding, and excellent salt and
freshwater fishing are just some of the area's many
recreational opportunities.
PROPERTY
Ideally sited on a quiet street, the residence enjoys
lovely views of the harbor. Though this circa 1850 home
has undergone an impeccable restoration from the
foundation up, it has retained much of its original
charm. Every modern convenience has been added,
including top of the line mechanical systems. Bricks and
cobblestones have been laid on all walkways as well as
the parking courtyard.
Effort was made to connect the interior of the house to
its outdoor living space. Wall to wall French doors lead
to a stone terrace and stone porch situated within a
delightful fenced garden that requires little
maintenance. It is even possible to pick a ripe tomato
right from the garden through the open casement windows
in the kitchen.
RESIDENCE
The entrance hall leads to the front staircase and a
spacious living room with fireplace, combination library
and dining room, wet bar, powder room and dine-in
kitchen. A
side door opens to a mudroom and the rear staircase. A
bedroom and en suite bath completes the first floor.
The second floor contains the master bedroom suite that
includes a large dressing room with custom cabinetry,
and master bath with whirlpool tub and separate shower.
A family room with fireplace, the laundry room, and the
third bedroom and en suite bath are also on this level.
The third floor is accessed by two separate staircases.
One leads to a bright and sunny studio/office with
vaulted ceiling and the other to the fourth bedroom and
bath, also having a vaulted ceiling.
All told, this bright and sunny home contains 4
bedrooms, 4 full baths, a powder room, wet bar,
library/dining room, living room, dine-in kitchen,
family room and studio office.
