Well hidden on an interior lot, this spacious home with five bedrooms and four full, modern and newly redone bathrooms has space for everyone to spread out and enjoy coastal beach living year-round.

The walk-out lower level is comprised of a large family room with fireplace, an office area, dining area and access to the garage and back yard. The upper level of the home was added in 1997 to accommodate a luxurious master suite with outdoor balcony to enjoy the best of the views and an additional guest bedroom. This waterfront home with beach rights has a large outbuilding for a workshop or storage and is located nearby to all the wonderful town of Old Saybrook offers from outdoor recreational activities to theater, gourmet restaurants and shopping. Come live fulltime in your our own vacation spot on the beautiful Connecticut Shoreline.
