About This Home
As of April 2022This vast and well-proportioned waterfront Victorian in Preston, Connecticut, is being offered. The property sits on .82 acres and nests on the Poquetanuck Cove with a trail leading down to Halsey Bay. The far-reaching tracts of protected land create a most breathtaking view. The fully fenced backyard is ideal for gatherings and your pets.
Inside the alluring 1800s Victorian you will find 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths with over 2,800 square feet above grade. The house in its entirety is covered with stunningly beautiful custom woodwork. The gleaming hardwoods through out the house boast custom woodworking patterns. The extensive kitchen features a large farm style sink with striking marble floors. As you make your way around the first floor one cannot help but appreciate the grand architecture and charm as you step into each expansive room. Another notable feature is the convenient set of staircases leading to the second floor: one off the kitchen and the main staircase on the north side of the house. True to the house’s form, once upstairs you will be pleased to find 4 bedrooms with notably generous dimensions. It will come at no surprise that the recently refreshed upstairs bathroom offers picturesque water views of the cove. Very versatile property, Very large family, someone looking to Air bob a property in between two major casinos. Please come take a look.
