A well-known photographer recently said, "I've been photographing properties on the waterfront for over twenty years and I have never seen a more beautifully sited house". Nestled in Sachem's Head, high on a private peninsula enjoying commanding views of Long Island Sound, the Thimble Islands and its own sandy swimming cove and dock, 31 Loyal Ledge stands tall. With 700+ feet of linear footage on the Sound & almost 360-degree water views, the 100+ year old house has been a cherished retreat to only four families. Each owner has enhanced the property with the latest upgrades completed this year focusing on updating the third floor to have an inviting living room, bedroom & new full bath.The first level offers an abundance of spaces and rooms to enjoy gracious living - a living room with a gas log fireplace and a wall of bookcases, a sunroom with five picture windows to the water, a formal dining room, and a large kitchen with both island and table seating and a cozy family room. There are also two covered, stone porches- one perfect for viewing the sun rising and the other its setting. The second floor has a large primary ensuite bedroom with a sitting area, an office and two nice sized bedrooms which share a bath. Outdoors, in addition to manicured grounds and the mesmerizing views of the islands, there are two areas perfect for entertaining - one features a fire pit, the other with a tall flagpole as its centerpiece.Watch the attached video.
