LOCATION
Situated along the scenic southeastern corner of Connecticut’s coastline and standing guard at the entrance to Fishers Island Sound, historic Stonington Borough is blessed with a scenic deepwater harbor which shelters Connecticut’s last remaining commercial fishing fleet and many enthusiastic summertime yachtsmen. With its treelined streets, interesting shops, cozy restaurants and stately 18th and 19th century homes, Stonington is widely considered the most picturesque seaside village in Connecticut.

PROPERTY
Tucked away on a quiet side street, this wonderful family compound includes three homes that overlook a beautiful secret garden blooming with perennials, herbs, and oriental plantings, and accented with stone pathways and a sundial. The centerpiece of this wonderful estate is a meticulously restored 1840s Federal home that is handsomely outfitted with double dutch doors, floor to ceiling bookcases, random width flooring and several skylights. With its great location just two short blocks from the sailboat filled harbor, this elegant yet unpretentious home would make an ideal retreat for either year round living or summer weekend escapes.

RESIDENCE
First Floor: The front door opens to a small hallway that leads on the left to a handsomely equipped Kitchen (17.5x14) with bar seating, roomy closets and a built in desk. The kitchen then flows into an inviting breakfast room which has large picture windows looking out onto the garden patio. The kitchen in turn accesses a large and cheerful Living Room (23x15) that includes a handsome fireplace, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and sliding doors that overlook a courtyard and the garden. The Dining Room (14x13), which is accessed from both the living room and kitchen, includes another fireplace, a wet bar and china cabinets. A hallway off the dining room leads to a cozy Library (18.5x10) with floor to ceiling bookcases, hardwood floors and French doors that open to the garden. The first floor also has a half bath adjacent to the library.

Second Floor: The second floor has three spacious bedrooms that can be accessed by either of two staircases. All three of the bedrooms boast large closets and charming views of the grounds. There are also two full baths on this floor, one of which includes a small laundry area.

Third Floor: The master suite encompasses the entire third floor and includes a sitting room, wet bar, his and hers tiled baths, and a private balcony that enjoys spectacular sunset water views. From the balcony a ladder leads to a rooftop lookout that sports wonderful views of both the village and the sailboat filled harbor.

Outbuildings: The property includes two separate guest houses that are each located on their own deeded town lots, and could be sold individually if an owner so wished. One guest house dates to the 19th century, and is full of charm with its wide board floors, built in bookcases and massive stone hearth. The second guest house includes a two car garage on its ground floor, and a fully equipped, bright and cheerful one bedroom apartment with water views on its second floor.
