About This Home

As of December 2023

This is your chance to live by the water in the Saybrook Manor Cove private beach community! Watch beautiful sunsets on the Oyster River from your sunroom and the Cove Beach is a straight walk down the road and up a sandy path! This charming year round home is filled with windows and has a cathedral ceiling, beautiful stone fireplace, wide floor boards, an open floor plan and there's even an outdoor shower for when you return from the beach! The kitchen is a great set up with stainless appliances and plenty of cabinet space! Although it is officially a one-bedroom home, there's space in the sunroom and in the back dining area/den for daybeds or sleep sofas for your overnight guests. All you need is some vision and cosmetic updates to make this home your own. Newer Mitsubishi mini splits provide heat and air conditioning. For boaters, you are a few steps away from a boat dock where you can rent a slip or launch your kayaks. Wake up to sunlight sparkling on the river; spend your summer days enjoying Cove Beach, summer evenings on your private backyard patio and experience the sheer joy of exploring Old Saybrook with its iconic Saybrook Point, lovely main street and the Katherine Hepburn Cultural Center.
