Located in the coveted Indian Neck neighborhood with 250 feet of sandy beach frontage on the widest section of Long Island Sound, this Victorian classic is elevated above the flood zone.

Designed by noted New Haven architect Henry Austin in 1871 in the Carpenter Gothic style, it now has recent updates, including a new slate and copper roof, all-new plumbing, updated electrical, central air conditioning, new windows, and updated bathrooms. An elegant floor plan has rooms which open to one another and permit water views to be carried through from front to back.

The kitchen features Miele, Gaggenau, Ilve, and Bosch appliances, while a breakfast/wine bar and generous island provide seating for both casual and intimate dinners. The family room has rosewood carved paneling hiding deep built-ins. Gas fireplaces are in both the living and family rooms. In addition, there's the opportunity for a first-floor, grand in-law suite with its own entrance, including a great room, its own top-of-the-line kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms (one en suite), plus a water view, bluestone terrace, and a brand-new outdoor kitchen.

Outdoor entertaining spaces include bi-level wrap-around decks with beautiful water views. The Newport-inspired irrigated grounds boast mature shade trees and sea spray-safe plantings. The association provides a kayak launch and maintains the beach and sea wall. Several excellent restaurants are nearby, including the Owenego Beach Club.

This impressive, historic waterfront property checks all the boxes.

This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty for $3,500,000. For more information or a showing, contact Margaret Muir of the Margaret Muir team at 203-415-9187.
