Panoramic vistas of Long Island Sound extend from this gated, resort-style estate. Designed to maximize its spectacular waterfront setting, the east-facing main house takes in the coastal views from walls of windows, French doors, and private balconies. Effortless indoor-outdoor flow defines the main level, where a charming screened-in porch and awning-covered veranda overlook a Gunite pool with spa. Perfect for summer entertaining, the backyard terrace offers a bar with built-in barbecue and a sitting area with firepit by the pool. Beyond the manicured lawn, the 168-ft seawall leads to an 80-ft pier and 20-ft private dock. Secluded outdoor shower with exterior access powder room. Separate 2-bedroom guest cottage with kitchen, laundry and one-car attached garage. Full house generator.
