Stunning home with private beach access on charming Bell Island. Tastefully updated with L.I. Sound views from most rooms, this gem has an open floor plan with multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces including a new stone deck with storage below. Cooking's a joy with all new appliances, expanded island, wet bar & wine fridge. The dual sided gas fireplace with ship lap detail warms the dining room & living room on cooler nights, and the LaCantina folding doors connect the family room to the deck to let the sea breeze in. Primary suite with built-in office, sparkling bath with double sinks, make-up vanity & heated floors as well as two walk-in closets also has a stackable washer and dryer - not to mention the deck overlooking the Sound. So many mechanical upgrades including generator, new speaker and sound system, retractable TV's, fiber optic cable, sprinkler, propane tank and outdoor lighting - And did I mention the outdoor shower? Too many upgrades to list here. But what this home really offers is an enviable lifestyle. Walk out your back door and go paddle boarding or swimming, take a walk or bike ride to Rowayton Avenue for some ice cream, or just relax on your deck with a cool drink. Bell Island Association offers two beaches, a dog park and playground. Also the opportunity for a mooring at Rowayton Yacht Club. *House is in flood zone but has had no water since Sandy when there was puddling in the garage and basement. Insurance $3,100 a year/transferable.
