LOCATION
Situated along the scenic southeastern corner of
Connecticut’s coastline and standing guard at the
entrance to Fishers Island Sound, historic Stonington
Village is blessed with a beautiful natural setting.
Protected from the pounding surf of the ocean by a long
stretch of unspoiled barrier beach, Stonington is widely
considered the most picturesque seaside village in
Connecticut, and is home to a scenic deepwater harbor
which shelters Connecticut’s last remaining commercial
fishing fleet and many enthusiastic summertime
yachtsmen.
Conveniently located halfway between Boston and New
York, the area’s many popular visitor attractions
include the 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
Secluded on a private and enchanting 38 acre peninsula,
and yet located within easy walking distance of historic
and charming Stonington Village, this magnificent
waterfront property encompasses roughly 3 acres of
beautiful land with over 700 feet of water frontage. The
home enjoys partial ownership in an additional 18 acres
of conservation land that borders and surrounds it.
From its perch above the water, this handsome 6,000
square foot stone and clapboard residence enjoys
breathtaking panoramic water vistas from each of its
rooms and outside patios. Beautifully landscaped with
perennial flower beds and specimen plantings, the home
is surrounded by lovely lawns and gardens that gently
slope to the water’s edge and a sturdy dock which acts
as a gateway to an abundance of summer fun and
waterfront recreation. Ideally situated for both the
sailor and fisherman, the property offers them protected
anchorage on a quiet cove that leads into Little
Narragansett Bay, Fishers Island Sound, and the ocean
beyond. A brief minute’s boat ride takes passengers to
Sandy Point, an uninhabited private island with calm
sandy beaches; while a 3 or 4 minute boat ride will lead
swimmers, looking for a dip in the surf, to the gorgeous
and private mile-long Napatree Point beach.
RESIDENCE
Constructed in 1992 by a well known local artist and
sculptor, this beautiful and gracious 5 bedroom home is
solidly built and offers handsome woodworking, hardwood
floors, built-in cabinets and a large fireplace. The
bright and generously proportioned rooms all enjoy
wonderful ocean views; and the living room and dining
room both lead through French doors to a wonderful
outdoor flagstone patio that is bordered by beautiful
landscaped grounds and a small decorative pond with a
waterfall.
First Floor: The Front
Entrance Hall leads to a spacious and inviting Living
Room (32x21.5) that features hardwood floors, built-in
cabinetry & bookshelves, and large windows which offer
incredibly beautiful and expansive water vistas
overlooking Little Narragansett Bay, the beach, and the
distant sparkling ocean. The south side of the living
room opens into the Library (21x18.5) which is
handsomely appointed with floor to ceiling bookcases and
shelving, and a large fireplace surrounded by a handsome
wooden mantel. The library is adjoined by a sun-drenched
Conservatory (14x12) with terracotta floors and large
windows overlooking the gardens and waterfront.
The entrance hall leads on the south side, through a
hallway to a handsome and large Master Bedroom (21x17)
which is outfitted with hardwood floors, high ceilings,
an extra large walk-in closet and an adjoining master
bath with twin washbasins, a Jacuzzi tub and a large
walk-in shower. The north side of the entrance hall
leads to a gracious and large Dining Room (30x16) that
features a tray ceiling with recessed lighting, hardwood
floors, floor to ceiling windows and French doors that
lead out to the stone patio, fountain, and sitting
area—all of which enjoy unsurpassed water views.
Directly off the dining room, a bright and cheerful
Kitchen (19x15) is fully equipped with top-of-the-line
appliances, Corian topped counters and work areas, and
handsome cabinetry and shelving with an abundance of
storage space. The kitchen is adjoined by a good-sized
laundry room, and a large hallway with pantry (which
offers access to a pull-down attic storage area) that
also serves as a corridor to a side entrance and
greeting hall, that in turn leads to the north wing of
the residence. This floor also includes an Office (12x9)
and a half bath.
Second Floor: The second
level of the main house includes a large upstairs
Landing Area/Sitting Room (20x16) which on one side
offers access to a large attic (which could be finished
off and made into additional living space or bedrooms),
and on the other side leads to two large guest bedrooms
(both 16.5x15.5) offering wonderful water views,
hardwood floors and ample closet and storage space. The
bedrooms share a large full bath which includes double
sinks, and a large shower and separate tub.
The North Wing: The ground
level of this wing includes an entrance hall/breezeway
which accesses both the front entrance side of the home,
as well as the rear water side of the property; and also
leads on the north side to a large 3 car heated garage
that includes a workshop and storage area. The second
floor includes two spacious guest bedrooms (23.5x16 and
18.5x17), or if one prefers, a bedroom and adjoining
sitting room each outfitted with hardwood floors, large
closets, and picture windows that gaze out upon the
wonderful waterfront scenery. This floor also includes a
large full bath and a small galley kitchen.
