This lovely estate is on a hilltop on Masons Island in Mystic, Connecticut. Tucked away on a treed peninsula, it overlooks The Great Marsh, Ram Cove, and the Mystic River with views out to The Sound.
A stunning entry from the main courtyard through an impressive custom-designed front door leads into the gallery atrium which showcases striking artwork and opens to the central courtyard complete with a fireplace for those chilly evenings.
The nearly forty-foot living room/dining room with gorgeous raised hearth fireplace overlooks the courtyard to the east and the Mystic River to the west and captures the freshening southwest breezes as well as amazing sunset views.
The chef’s kitchen features granite counters, custom cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances and opens to a sitting/dining area with raised hearth fireplace suitable for grilling all overlooking the terrace and the Mystic River.
The library has a fireplace and water views. The guest wing has two bedrooms and a large full bath. The master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows, feels like a treehouse overlooking the Great Marsh with two fully outfitted dressing room closets and a well-appointed spacious bath.
The lower level space opens to a gorgeous swimming pool built into the hillside. The three-car garage with additional equipment space has guest quarters above with two bedrooms and a full bath. The 1.36 acre setting is private, elevated, water-oriented, and unique.
