This 4-bedroom, 3-bath contemporary is rich with amenities for indoor/outdoor living in Guilford, CT’s desirable Chaffinch Island neighborhood. Enjoy expansive views across West River to Guilford Yacht Club. Stroll minutes from the secluded property down a wooded street to Chaffinch Island Park. Or drive 5 minutes to Guilford Green’s shopping and dining.The home’s four decks ensure ocean breeze is never far. Blooms of landscaped plants herald spring on the front deck. The screened porch repels insects but not the sounds of nesting sea birds. The main bedroom’s private deck offers a water-view oasis. And a large hardwood deck hangs high above the lawn, which slopes down to the marsh—enough room for the grill master and a lounge for starry nightcaps. Inside, a tower of Stony Creek pink granite features fireplaces on three stories and warms dark hardwood, floor-to-vaulted-ceiling windows, and an open floor plan.A classic mid-century kitchen opens to the view and a sunny breakfast nook.The main bedroom floats above the home, marsh, and Long Island Sound; a perfect place to drift off with a book and wake to sunrise clearing mist from the water. An open closet contains built-in hardwood shelving, and a sliding door opens to private outdoor space.Three other bedrooms sit in a peaceful wing, one with an en suite. The driveway holds two vehicles and leads to an attached two-car garage and unfinished basement with a separate entrance, primed to become a guest room or office.
