    ACADEMIC RENTAL - August 31, 2026-May 31, 2027 PURCHASE POSSIBILITY Welcome to 204 Clark Avenue, a charming historic Colonial home nestled in the picturesque Short Beach community. Known as Idlewild, this residence is the second home built on Johnsons Beach, a waterfront area rich in history. Featuring a warm yellow exterior and a historic 1889 plaque, the home blends timeless character with modern amenities. The first floor offers a cozy living room, formal dining room, a half bath, and an updated kitchen equipped with mostly new appliances, quartz countertops, and new built-in cabinetry. A new modern porch with heat and AC can be used for any occasion. Upstairs, two large inviting bedrooms and two full bathrooms with hardwood floors provide comfort, while the principal bedroom includes a sitting room with stunning views of the beach and Long Island Sound. A partially finished walk-up attic offers 2 spaces for family or guests. A wraparound covered porch invites relaxation with panoramic views of the Long Island Sound, sailboats, and serene shoreline. Beautiful flower gardens and coastal birdlife enhance the peaceful, year-round retreat atmosphere. The Short Beach community offers a vibrant waterfront lifestyle with opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, kayaking on the Farm River, sailing, fishing, and enjoying regattas at the nearby Yale Corinthian Sailing Club. Stroll along the sandy beach and immerse yourself in a community rich with history and natural beauty.
