    Enjoy the sunrises and sunsets at this direct waterfront home in covet private association. A beautiful residence with unobstructed views extending across Greenwich Cove to the open waters leading out to the Long Island Sound. Expansive skies, ever-changing coastal vistas, and a remarkable sense of openness define the experience, with the surrounding waterscape visible from virtually every room.

The gourmet kitchen, great room, dining area all open onto a large Sound facing terrace while a study plus lounge and full bath offer the added flexibility of serving as a 1st floor bedroom. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a generous walk-in closet, luxurious bath, and balcony suspended above the waterfront. Two additional bedrooms and a versatile study or game room complete the level all offering breathtaking views. The walk-out lower level adds another dimension to the home, with a spacious family room opening onto a covered terrace overlooking the open lawn and the water - a wonderful setting for a quiet morning swim or paddle, play and sunset entertaining. Four bedrooms, an elevator serving all three floors, a large two-car garage and abundant storage bring comfort and practicality to the design. The nearly half-acre grounds are beautifully established, with mature plantings and professional landscaping complementing the home's elevated waterfront position. Beyond the property, one of Riverside's most coveted waterfront communities, Willowmere, offers a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere and private association beach with a dock and sandy shoreline along a protected cove. The village of Old Greenwich, parks and schools are all within easy walking or biking distance.
