Description

At the edge of the Five Mile River, this rare waterfront colonial offers a quiet presence, as though it has long understood the rhythm of the tide. Originally located on Crocket Street, the home was carefully moved by barge and renewed, preserving its historic character while embracing modern comfort. Step inside and the foyer leads to a center hall where the house seems to take a slow, steady breath. The living/dining room stretch out patiently, perfect for quiet conversations or festive gatherings...At the edge of the Five Mile River, this rare waterfront colonial offers a quiet presence, as though it has long understood the rhythm of the tide. Originally located on Crocket Street, the home was carefully moved by barge and renewed, preserving its historic character while embracing modern comfort. Step inside and the foyer leads to a center hall where the house seems to take a slow, steady breath. The living/dining room stretch out patiently, perfect for quiet conversations or festive gatherings while a thoughtfully updated galley kitchen connects seamlessly to a warm family room with fireplace, creating a natural hub for daily living. Beyond it, the deck reaches toward the river, providing a peaceful setting for unhurried mornings and relaxed evenings. 3 tranquil bedrooms plus a 4th bedroom/office offer quiet retreat and are complemented by 2 and a half well-appointed baths. A large, level side yard enhances outdoor living, offering space for fireside conversations and is framed by river views with indigenous wildlife drifting by and sunlight settling over the .31-acre yard each afternoon, casting a warm southwest glow. The floating dock extends into the calm current, ready for kayaking or simple moments by the water. Just beyond the front door, the heart of Rowayton awaits-Pinkney Park, restaurants, the beach, and train-bringing together the serenity of the water with the vibrant pulse of the village.
