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.
Nestled down a tree-lined drive, the home was rebuilt and added onto in 2018 and pairs timeless coastal architecture with chic gorgeous interiors.

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.

The village of Old Greenwich, parks and schools are all within easy walking or biking distance.
