It’s all about the views at this English Tudor, a direct waterfront, stone and brick manse located on the Long Island Sound. Sited picturesquely on a high lot (no flood insurance) with 5 BR and 3.5 baths, this light filled home has spaces for everyone, and water views from almost every room. This is the only house in the private gated 28 home enclave at Johnsons Pt. that has a stone jetty/dock, which extends out 100 ft. Previous owners have caught lobster, tied up their boats, swam and fished for porgies and sea bass on the only private dock at the Pt. Access to 3 beaches come with ownership here. The stone patio/terrace glistens in the sun, awaiting morning coffee, evening cocktails, lunch alfresco... Inside this unique seaside home, you will find an open concept floor plan. The light filled kitchen opens to living and dining areas, all with the most fabulous water views! A wood paneled library with a bay window overlooks the sea. The main floor has a BR, 1.5 baths. Up to the second level are more views, from the Master ensuite with its own private deck overlooking the water, to the bedroom with a loft and 2 more bedrooms. There is a full walk up attic, could be finished off for a yoga/art studio or playroom. House needs some updating but the location can't be beat. Your private seaside paradise, all found here at 8 Wood Rd., by the sea. Amazing value here, .25 acre lot included across street. Near Yale, commutable to NYC, Fairfield County,Hartford.
