263 Seaside Avenue, Westbrook, CT 06498
What's special
WHERE THE BEAUTY OF THE SHORELINE MEETS THE LUXURY OF COASTAL LIVING. Experience the sights, sounds, and serenity of waterfront living at 263 Seaside Avenue, where timeless New England charm meets exceptional craftsmanship and modern comfort. Completely reconstructed in 2018, including structural improvements and a third-floor addition, this beautifully appointed four-bedroom, three-full bath, two half bath coastal retreat offers semi-private beach access, thoughtfully designed living spaces, and remarkable attention to detail. The inviting open-concept first floor features custom shiplap walls and ceilings, wood-grain porcelain tile flooring, and abundant natural light. A beautifully designed kitchen showcases an oversized granite island, tile backsplash, natural gas cooktop, and walk-in pantry. A dedicated laundry room, generous closet space, and enclosed porches on both the first and second floors enhance everyday living. The luxurious primary suite features a spacious walk-in shower with body sprays, while the third floor offers two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Thoughtfully designed dormers add approximately 400 square feet of living space beyond the town's current assessment records. Extensive upgrades include a 50-year architectural roof, low-maintenance AZEK trim and Cedar Impressions siding, solid wood tilt-in windows, and energy-efficient spray foam insulation. Updated mechanicals, plumbing, 200-amp electrical service, and recessed LED lighting complement radiant floor heating throughout all three levels, central air conditioning, supplemental forced-air heating, and smart HVAC controls. Engineered hardwood flooring, beautifully tiled bathrooms, and quality finishes reflect the craftsmanship throughout. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, featuring professionally landscaped grounds, security system, comprehensive irrigation, and a handsome granite driveway. An outdoor shower, convenient half bath, and dedicated beach gear storage make seaside living effortless. Situated on a desirable corner lot, the property includes a coveted adjoining 0.14-acre parcel, offering exceptional flexibility for additional parking or the potential construction of a three-car garage, subject to applicable approvals. More than a waterfront retreat, 263 Seaside Avenue offers an exceptional combination of coastal charm, modern luxury, and thoughtful design-where every day feels like a vacation.
