About This Property

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac on the western shore of the Mystic River stands an exquisite 5,926 sq. ft. Georgian Colonial. As you view this 1931 estate and learn the unrepeatable details of its magnificent construction, this stately residence confirms it was built for this waterfront location, not just placed on it. Built to endure direct waterfront exposure with construction standards that have proven their value since 1931. Over the past 23 years, the owner has made many upgrades: Electrical, Heating, Lighting, Commercial Alarm system, Window Well Drainage System, Seawall, Roof w/ice shield, & more. All this to safeguard the home while bringing a lighter flair and more contemporary feel to the interior without sacrificing its elegance.* The sequence of spaces tells it all. Water-facing windows carry the shoreline through the principal rooms, so the setting follows you. Arched openings keep sightlines long; French doors dissolve the boundary between living space and covered porch, so indoor and outdoor rooms work as one floor plan. Coffered ceiling detail, Built-in cabinetry, and a centered fireplace give the interior the same permanence as the brick and stone outside. Hardwood floors run throughout. Formal dining and generous living areas hold a crowd; The bedrooms hold the quiet with soft light, water views, & the primary, with a private balcony. The spacious kitchen with water views & direct access draws you to the backyard:Terrace, Pier, Beach, the Sunrise or Sunset
