Perhaps the best way to sum up this home in Fenwick is to borrow part of a movie title: Everything all at once. The home has water views, lots of living space, old-world charm, modern-day comforts, community benefits, and beach amenities. Fenwick offers tennis courts, golf, private beaches, and boating.

Built in 1880, this antique home is a cedar-shingled charmer with a first-floor wraparound porch, most of which is screened to allow for hours of enjoyment mere steps from the water. Curl up in a chair with a good book, or enjoy a cold drink with friends on the porch overlooking the beach. From almost every room in the house are fabulous sweeping views of the Long Island Sound that will delight family and guests. Multiple balconies that overlook the water and the private beach make the most of the stunning views.

Hardwood floors can be found throughout the home, and most rooms have the original bead board walls and wood ceilings, preserving some of the home’s historical ambience. The spacious living room has a large fireplace for a crowd to gather around on chilly evenings.

The home also offers a staggering 11 bedrooms, nine full baths, a large modern kitchen, and both formal and informal dining areas. A separate entry guest wing with eat-in kitchen and three bedrooms is included in the property. Perfect for entertaining and living in luxury, this home provides everything anyone can ask for — all at once.

This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt–Sotheby’s International Realty for $4,950,000. For more information or a showing, contact Colette Harron at 860-304-2391.
