About This Home

As of October 2014

Enchanting...Extraordinary...AND...Waterfront In Rowayton! It is rare to find a waterfront property that truly touches those nostalgic,happy remembrances in life and still offers the same for today! "Morningside"(61 Bluff) sits high(25-50 feet high "on the bluff")overlooking Long Island Sound,the Norwalk Islands, & Rowayton Harbor. AND,not only does it command the natural stone terraces that lead to the water,(beach) & it's own swimming area w/a floating raft, but offers a large flat yard for your enjoyment & privacy. Updated throughout the years, including a completely renovated kitchen, the three floors of relaxed sophistication offer views like no other. "Morningside" is an experience and living life-style not to be missed.
