LOCATION
Situated on exclusive Wamphassuc Point on the western
shore of the outer harbor in historic Stonington
Village, the property offers panoramic views of the
village, Watch Hill, Rhode Island, the outer breakwater
and the open ocean beyond. The bucolic and secluded
Point encompasses the southernmost land on Wamphassuc
Neck in Fishers Island Sound and is accessed by a
private road for residents only.
Despite one’s sense of “getting away from it all”,
picturesque Stonington Village with its many amenities
is only a five minute drive to the opposite side of the
harbor. The village has two yacht clubs, many
interesting shops, several restaurants, a full service
marina and is home to Connecticut’s last remaining
commercial fishing fleet. Because of its location
outside Long Island Sound, the deepwater and sheltered
harbor has long been a major port for many fine sailing
and motor yachts.
In addition to boating, other area recreational
opportunities include excellent salt and freshwater
fishing, horseback riding, swimming in the bay or the
nearby ocean beaches in Watch Hill, tennis, and numerous
golf courses. Conveniently located between Boston and
New York, the area is served by I-95, Amtrak and two
regional airports
PROPERTY
Encompassing 3.7 acres and 350 feet of waterfront, the
land slopes gently down to the shore past mature trees
and native seaside landscaping. The house is sited to
take maximum advantage of lovely water views while
maintaining absolute privacy due to very natural and
extensive screening. A crushed stone circular driveway
leads to the front entrance and also to the separate
two-car garage with a large and bright artist’s studio.
A transferable permit to build a dock is already in
place.
RESIDENCE
Completely reconstructed in 1995 for the mutual use of
three family members, the natural cedar shingle home was
designed for both communal family living and private
living quarters. There are 5 bedrooms, 3 of which are
master suites with walk-in closets, en suite baths and
private outdoor space. Virtually every room overlooks
the ocean.
First Floor: A small porch leads to the front entrance
hall which opens into a large kitchen with center island
and vaulted ceiling. Beyond the kitchen is a barrel
ceiling dining area with wall-to-wall sliding glass
doors leading to the sizeable outdoor deck and
overlooking the water. A library with built-in shelves,
fireplace and full bath is also accessed from the front
hall. The oversized living room also has wall-to-wall
sliding French doors to take advantage of the views, a
second fireplace and the stairway to the second floor.
One of the two first floor master suites is accessed
through this room. The other first floor master suite is
on the opposite side of the house, and also contains a
private loft and cathedral ceilings.
Second Floor: The third master bedroom is located on
this floor. Like the others, it is generously
proportioned but is distinguished by new outdoor deck
with built in seating. The remaining two guest bedrooms
share a full bath.
