About this home

Panoramic views of Long Island Sound extend from this gated, resort-like estate. Designed to maximize its spectacular waterfront setting, the east-facing main house takes in the coastal views from walls of windows, glass French doors, and private balconies. Effortless indoor-outdoor flow defines the main level, where a charming screened-in porch and awning-covered veranda overlook a Gunite pool with spa. First floor rooms facing the water include the living room and office, both with fireplaces, the formal dining room and the open kitchen/family room. This floor also has a billiard/media room, full bar, refrigerated wine room, two powder rooms and laundry. Idyllic second floor primary suite features waterfront balcony and sitting room, 3 walk-in closets and marble bathroom. Three additional en-suite bedrooms, each with balconies, complete this level. Perched on the third floor is a home gym with waterfront balcony, full bath and sauna. Newly added wing above attached two-car garage with one-bedroom guest suite. Perfect for summer entertaining, the backyard terrace offers a bar with built-in barbecue and a sitting area with firepit by the pool. Beyond the manicured lawns, the 168-ft seawall leads to an 80-ft pier and 20-ft private dock. Side yard with secluded outdoor shower, exterior-access powder room and kayak storage rack. Spacious two-bedroom guest cottage with 1.5 baths, kitchen, laundry and attached one-car garage. Commercial-sized generator powers main house & cottage.
