OHC Notes $1,175,000
This home is a little tricky. At first glance you’d believe it’s a colonial, but once you take another look over it gives “fraud?” Maybe that’s too dramatic, but in the realtors description on every site it says built 1972. What are your thoughts? Should we give this home the benefit of the doubt since it’s located in Connecticut?
Realtor Comments
Waterfront in Southport! This charming, sprawling cape, on a bucolic 1+ acre property w/a pond, has the best of both worlds. You experience a tranquil country lifestyle, yet you are only 5 minutes to 2 train stations, should the city beckon.
Interior
You enter the driveway off a cul-de-sac, w/easy access to a quiet lane for bikes & trikes. The home has a sought after first floor primary bedroom/full bathroom. Two large bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom just upstairs from the primary bedroom. The living room w/fireplace, dining room & large sunroom w/wet bar, all have views of the gorgeous pastoral property & pond. The kitchen, open to the dining room, has granite counters, a pantry, & warm wood cabinets. Just off the kitchen is a convenient laundry closet, butlers pantry, powder room & office, a must have in this work from home era. This area has access to the garage, so could also function as a mudroom. The sunroom is the heart of the home, where you’ll love to sit & admire the view. Should you want a quiet space to watch tv, head up the stairs from here to a bonus room over the garage w/a vaulted ceiling, and room to expand over the third garage bay.
Exterior
The outside continues to impress with a large flagstone patio. From here you really get a sense of how special this property is. The location is ideal-walk to the farmer’s market for fresh produce, and a quick drive to 5 town beaches, 2 public golf courses, miles of hiking trails, and countless great restaurants. Welcome home!
