Description

Noted Connecticut architect William Mack designed this multi-level Contemporary home to take advantage of the topography of the land and provide unobstructed water views from virtually every room. Situated at the highest point on a nearly one-acre lot, this sun-filled home has direct frontage on the West River with views of the Guilford Yacht Club as well as protected views of Long Island Sound. Walls of windows overlook marshes and salt water and provide frequent glimpses of area wildlife from red...Noted Connecticut architect William Mack designed this multi-level Contemporary home to take advantage of the topography of the land and provide unobstructed water views from virtually every room. Situated at the highest point on a nearly one-acre lot, this sun-filled home has direct frontage on the West River with views of the Guilford Yacht Club as well as protected views of Long Island Sound. Walls of windows overlook marshes and salt water and provide frequent glimpses of area wildlife from red foxes to osprey and wild turkeys. Launch a kayak or canoe from the property at high tide, walk to Chaffinch Island Park, dine alfresco and enjoy the views from a deck or screened porch and, in cooler weather, embrace the cozy warmth of two Stony Creek granite wood burning fireplaces. Guilford’s village green, shopping, highway access and the train station are only minutes away. The new owner will want to update this home and bring his/her own creative touches, but the special location alone makes this a project well worth undertaking.
