About This Home

As of January 2025

First time this charming home is available for sale. Built, owned and cared for by the same family since 1954. Because it's an estate the house is being sold "as-is". There is a partially finished full basement, with a full bath, that could easily turn this into a 3 bedroom or whatever you choose. So many possibilities if you are up for a renovation, the good bones are there. The lot sits out of the flood zone and has the benefit of being on a corner, with expansive views of the neighborhood and the marsh across the street. This home is part of the "Fenwood Assoc.," it's a short walk to the Assoc. beach with a view of 2 lighthouses. The Fenwick Golf course is just down the road as is Saybrook Point. Marinas abound as Old Saybrook sits at the mouth of the Ct. river as well as having frontage on LI Sound. A perfect area to enjoy Shoreline living in a lovely town.
