This spectacular home features water views of Long Island Sound and has 6.5 acres nestled on a beautiful street within walking distance to Sasco Beach and conveniently located just 1.5 miles to shopping and dining.
Although the house appears to be a century old or older, construction was completed in 2000. The ceilings are very high in all rooms. The craftsmanship throughout the house is truly amazing. The woodworking and millwork is beyond imagination and was created by local and imported artisans. It is more than a perfect home for either large scale or intimate entertaining and has been used extensively for both, often the site of large charitable events, in the past. With a magnificently fifty foot gallery for receiving guests, huge guest cloak rooms off the fully paneled entry gallery, a large, stately dining room and a second and distinct kitchen for caterers - entertaining can be effortless. Other public rooms are of equal beauty and distinction. Beautiful and uniquely designed baths, large bedrooms, including a master suite of Old World grace and spaciousness, sitting rooms, a playroom, large balcony and office comprise the second and third floors.
There is a beautifully finished space over a garage building and there are 2 lovely separate bedrooms in a segregated area in a wing of the main house. Either of these areas could be used for guests or staff.
The grounds are park-like with extensive landscaping that is spectacular. There is a in-ground private pool with a pool house of architectural note of its own. Additionally, there are 3+ acres fenced in the rear of the yard, featuring an enclosed dog run, and organic vegetable garden. Nestled among the plantings is a charming Koi pond.
The house is just a few miles from the Southport and Fairfield railroad stations where trains run frequently to New York City in just over an hour. There is also easy access to interstate highways.
