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 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 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
Located on a small quiet side street lined with historic homes nestled gable to gable, this gambrel-roofed cottage exudes 18th-century charm. A tiny beach on Little Narragansett Bay is only steps away and provides a launching point for kayakers and windsurfers to access the unspoiled beaches of Sandy Point. A short distance away in the opposite direction is the newly restored Stonington Commons, with a yacht club, marina, and harbor side boardwalk soon to be completed.

The 1,500+ square foot cottage was built in 1750 and underwent substantial renovation that resulted in a spacious open floor plan that belies its modest size. The first floor has a living room, dining area, bedroom with en suite bath, and kitchen/family room combination. French doors make up the rear wall of the house and overlooks a sunny private garden.

The second floor has another bedroom and bath, as well as a study with ample bookshelves and the potential to be a third bedroom.
