About This Property

This magnificent and private two-story Italianate-style home, with a guest house, pool and barn occupies more than 3 acres of land. It was built circa 1860 by a member of the prominent Palmer family. Carefully restored and modernized, the property is in impeccable condition throughout. Affording water views from nearly every room, the interior features beautiful hardwood floors, elegant moldings, and 11 fireplaces, many with marble mantels. The first floor rooms have 11 foot ceilings, with 10 foot ceilings on the second floor. This home is walking distance to a wonderful harbor filled with recreational boats and the last commercial fishing fleet in the state of Connecticut. There are seven restaurants, paddle tennis and tennis courts, a playground, farmer’s market and a variety of shops, all walking distance from the property. DuBois Beach is a small beach at the end point in Stonington Village and it is a quick drive from this property to get to miles of pounding surf beaches and sand dunes in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. Across the street from this home, is a quiet protected cove that can be accessed with a small boat over conservation land. Stonington Harbor is also accessible from this cove. An annual community fair takes place on the green in Stonington Village, as well as several parades, lobster bakes, garden tours and holiday strolls. Stonington Borough is midway between Boston and New York City and a quick drive to Watch Hill and Mystic.
