About This Home

As of July 2021

NO FLOOD INSURANCE needed... WATERFRONT SANCTUARY ~ This private seaside retreat in an idyllic setting high above Long Island Sound is a rare opportunity to own a truly unique and special property that offers tranquility and inspiration with its sweeping views of the sea and specialty trees, perennial gardens, and abundance of nature on 1.36 acres of direct waterfront. Begin your day with the sun rising over the water in front of you on your balcony in your master bedroom suite high above LIS, take in the sunlit days on the expansive deck watching the sea sparkle, and wind down your evening with a glass of wine in the gardens with the moonlight dancing on the water in front of you. Beautifully designed, this classically elegant 4500 sf/5 BR/3.5 bath shingle style home was built by renowned Lyme craftsman, Skip Broom, with superior construction, distinctive detail and ever-changing scenery from each room. Sunlit living spaces open to the nature around you, inviting both relaxation and entertaining while a separate studio building with its performance-level cork floors and 360 degrees of windows are perfect for yoga, dance, meditation, art, music, or an office.
