About This Home

As of December 2017

You will fall in love with this spectacular south facing panorama of Rowayton and Five Mile River, and across to the sand dunes on Long Island/Sound. This location, cherry picked and built in 1912 by it's original owners & now home to a famous yacht designer, was designed to have the best of it all: a private deep-water dock in line with the channel, a level 258' yard at the waters edge, a launching ramp, and a waterfront home that is sunlit and joyful. A perfect perch for watching the days go by, this unique lifestyle opportunity offers 24/7 access to LIS and is situated on a half acre 16' above elevation. The variety is endless...fabulous sunsets, wildlife, seasonal tidal fluctuations and the waterfront commotion of the seaside village of Rowayton. Enjoy the activity of Pinkney Park, Shakespeare, community events, paddleboarding, beaches, water tours and stroll the one block sidewalk to town, restaurants, galleries and train. Nature, privacy and community. WATERFRONT VIEWS AS EXPANSIVE AS YOUR VISION
