A Rare Coastal Opportunity Awaits! Set in the highly sought-after North Cove Historic District of Old Saybrook, this grand colonial offers something truly special: a coveted prime coastal location, spectacular water views, and incredible potential to create the home you've always envisioned. Originally built in 1930 and expanded in 1987, this property has the character, scale, and bones of a remarkable coastal residence-but today, it's ready for a new vision. With water views from nearly every room, spacious living areas, French doors leading out to a large deck, beautiful bay windows, a brick fireplace, a first-floor primary suite, four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a two-car garage with loft space, and an exceptional setting-there is truly so much to work with. The existing layout provides a strong foundation for someone looking to renovate, reimagine, and create a truly spectacular coastal retreat in one of Connecticut shoreline's most desirable neighborhoods. Located within walking distance of local restaurants, shops, beaches, and everything else that Main Street has to offer. Property being sold in "as is".

About Saybrook

Point

Saybrook Point, located between the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound, is a waterfront and marina Old Saybrook Center neighborhood with salt-air promenades and low-slung coastal architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Saybrook Point Marina and its docks, where sail masts, chandlery errands, and patio dining set the daily rhythm. The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center (The Kate) and the General William Hart House anchor local culture beyond the shoreline. Streets mix classic shingle-style homes with tidy capes and newer coastal builds oriented toward the water. Fenwick Golf Course adds a quiet, green edge near the Sound. Causeways, beaches, and river views keep the landscape in constant motion.
