About This Home

As of April 2021

Very special offering....3.39 acres with substantial frontage on the Menunketesuck River and direct access to Long Island Sound. Ideal for kyakers and Boston Whaler enthusiasts. Main house, guest house, 4 car garage and a boat house! The main house, is a Cape Cod, circa 1745....with hand hewn beams throughout, wide board chestnut floors, 3 fireplaces and a charming farmhouse kitchen. Master bedroom is on the main floor and the sun porch is the perfect place for coffee or cocktails. A short walk through the gardens and you'll find the guest house - currently income producing, but could accomodate parents, adult children, offer a work space or studio. The 4 car Carriage Shed Garage is extra deep, has a steel carrying beam, and a 2nd floor accessed by ladder.... envied by all tinker-ers. The double decker boat house speaks for itself.... 5 minutes to I-95 at exit 64, 6 minutes to the train station, and 100 miles from NYC and Boston. Seller is a licensed real estate broker in the States of CT and GA.
