Welcome to one of Rowayton's most coveted addresses, a picture-perfect storybook home in the heart of Bell Island, sitting high and dry outside the flood zone. Originally built in 1890 and thoughtfully renovated in 2021, this antique gem seamlessly blends historic charm with the modern comforts today's buyers expect. Offering 2,751 total square feet, this home exudes quintessential New England character from the beautifully updated interiors to the inviting front porch. The first floor is warm, welcoming, and ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A stunning chef's kitchen anchors the home, while the spacious sunroom adds an additional 280 sf of finished living space. Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms include a generous primary suite plus two additional bedrooms for family or guests. A partially finished basement offers flexible space for a playroom, gym, or home office, along with ample storage. As a member of the Bell Island Association, residents enjoy access to two private beaches, a playground, and three scenic parks. Whether it's sunset walks along the shore or the annual July 4th Bell Island Lobster Bake, this is coastal Rowayton living at its best.
