charming home right on the beach

For over a century this very charming home, right on the beach is sited on a high lot in Indian Cove, has been a place for gathering friends and family to enjoy the grand views of Long Island Sound and the wonderful Indian Cove Community with a fabulous beach with raft and diving board and a community dock. The structure, originally a carriage house, has been upgraded and improved to provide an exceptional dwelling. The first floor living room and dining room each have sweeping views of the water. In the Living room there is a gas fueled stove, which is so comfortable in the winter, and access to a lovely four-season porch (which is also a gracious way to enter the house.) The large dining room, with charming tongue and Groove wood ceiling, has access to the deck. There is a clever cabinet in the DR that houses the full-size washer and dryer. The kitchen is tidy and efficient with gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and Corian counters. Just between the kitchen and the back door is the half bath; easy to access from inside or outside. Upstairs most of the ceilings are vaulted and there are three skylights. There is a wide hall, a primary-bedroom with two closets, a bedroom, a study and a full bath. There is limited attic storage. There are views from every room. The skylights are new, and all the windows are insulated double paned. The house is heated and cooled by efficient heat exchange mini-splits. On the lower level there is a one car garage and a workbench.There is additional storage space in a free-standing shed. Located just minutes from the historic Guilford Green, 20 minutes to New Haven and just about equidistance between NYC and Boston this house is a turn-key delight.
