Property Description

East View is a long-admired Connecticut Riverfront property, a rare offering that perfectly marries historic provenance with elevated modern living. The circa 1800 home was masterfully renovated and expanded in 2010 with an architect's eye and a reverence for its storied past. Meticulous attention to detail is found in the extensive millwork, custom built-ins and hand-hewn beams lending warmth and character throughout. Expansive windows frame water views from nearly every room - north to the Haddam bridge and south across Lord's Island. The kitchen is the heart of this home with a grand center island, top end appliances and custom cabinetry. The adjacent living and dining rooms allow for effortless entertaining. There is a handsome family room with wet bar, a library and office. Sunrise over the river greets you in the private primary bedroom, a sanctuary with a balcony. Three additional bedrooms are sited on the north end of the home with two full baths. You will find a home theatre/media room and a gym with sauna-spaces designed to restore mind and body. Outdoors, the grounds slope gently from the bluestone patio to 285' of water frontage where a six-pile, two-slip dock awaits. Completely re-engineered and rebuilt with a 16-ton lift and an additional floating dock, this is a captain's dream. At low tide, stone steps reveal a sandy beach, perfect for a dip or kayaking. For vehicles, find a heated, 3-bay garage attached and an additional 3 bay garage with storage,
