Description
Custom built in 2015 with an uncompromising level of craftsmanship, this exceptional direct-waterfront estate is among the Connecticut shoreline's most remarkable offerings. This distinctive home is made even more notable by its provenance, as it was designed and built by its current owner, a notable Broadway and London theater producer and recipient of multiple Tony and Olivier Awards. This home was designed to frame miles of unobstructed Long Island Sound views. From the moment you enter, the residence is oriented to deliver a refined coastal experience where every room captures the water's ever-changing horizon. The home's shoreline access allows for swimming at any tide. At low tide a walkable beach emerges that can be reached via the stonework deck and custom engineered metal staircase which descends directly into the Sound at high tide. A highly engineered seawall and wave-return system enhances both protection and longevity at this unique property which is an exceptional achievement rarely seen in this region. Inside, the main level offers an open, flowing layout with soaring ceilings, a beautiful stone fireplace, and a first-floor bedroom, all of which are framed by sweeping water vistas. The home features an indoor lap pool on the lower level, which is supported by a Desert Aire temperature and humidity control system thus providing true year-round enjoyment. The lower level also features a custom-designed wine cellar tailored for proper storage and elegant climate control presentation of a robust wine collection. In addition, the home also features a resort-caliber elevator which seamlessly connects the lower level, main level, and bedroom floor for effortless movement throughout the home. The bedroom level features the primary suite, junior suite as an additional bedroom, office/den space with shoreline vistas and a spacious laundry room with a coffee nook. The bedroom level of this home is truly arranged for luxury, comfort and convenience. Finally, the top-floor bonus room offers exceptional flexibility and can serve as a fifth bedroom with ensuite bath, private retreat, studio, or creative space while still being perfectly aligned with the home's artistic and distinguished provenance. Additional features include high-impact windows, automatic hurricane shutters, a gently sloped stone patio, a two-car garage, irrigated green space, solar panels on both the home and garage for impressively low utilities, an EV hookup, and an impressive whole-house generator system. Elevated, timeless, and masterfully designed and engineered, this one-of-a-kind coastal estate offers a rare blend of architectural quality, protected shoreline, and distinguished ownership. This is an opportunity truly suited for the most discerning buyer.
