About this home

Elegant Center Hall Colonial in Coveted Shippan Point! As you pull into your driveway, distant views of Long Island Sound welcome you to this spacious center hall colonial nestled in the heart of the Shippan Point beach community. Situated on a tranquil street, it's just a short stroll to the beach and Stamford Yacht Club, seamlessly blending coastal charm with modern convenience. Upon entering, you're greeted by a warm foyer leading to an elegant living room with a fireplace and a formal dining room featuring a bay window overlooking the landscaped grounds. The sunlit family room, the heart of the home, boasts a gas fireplace, skylights, and expansive sliding glass doors that open to the backyard. The adjacent kitchen is thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island with seating, and a cozy breakfast nook. A versatile first-floor bedroom with an en-suite bath offers the option for a primary suite, guest room, or private home office. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and three full baths provide ample space, with room for expansion or personal customization. Hardwood flooring adds timeless elegance throughout. Outside, the inviting front porch, stone patios, and a charming pergola create ideal settings for relaxation and entertaining on the beautifully landscaped 0.35-acre lot. Conveniently located just minutes from the Stamford train station, multiple 45-minute express trains provide seamless access to Manhattan.
