The recently renovated 120 ft dock is large enough to easily moor a 30 foot boat with 2.5 ft of water at low tide. If you have a larger boat, you can moor a smaller boat on your dock to ferry out to a mooring where a 40 ft Yacht can be kept within eyesight of your kitchen window. The Niantic River is easily navigable and the Long Island Sound is a quick 5 minute boat ride away. In winter months, the amazing solar greenhouse roof has been specially designed to capture enough solar heat to provide heat for the entire house.

The home's beautiful sun room has 3 walls of floor to ceiling windows to allow a maximum amount of natural light to flow into to the house. On the forth wall, connecting the sun room to the house, there are sliders and windows letting sun light flow through and illuminating the dining room and kitchen. The charming sun room has beautiful blue tile, a large skylight and lovely French doors leading out onto the back patio. This delightful room is a perfect transition space from the house to the glorious outdoors. It is a perfect spot for entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the views.

This serene water-front home is a short drive or leisurely walk over the bridge into the quaint, New England style Main Street of downtown Niantic with shopping, restaurants and more. Conveniently situated for maximum summer enjoyment and easy year round living, this home is a true treasure and the perfect place for you to create your own slice of heaven. Niantic is home to 3 town beaches and a mile-long boardwalk overlooking Long Island Sound. However, if you would rather stay in your own backyard, you can while away your time catching snapper blues or flounder off your dock or simply go digging for clams or scallops. Many find the fishing and boating areas to be some of the best on the entire East Coast. Boating along the coastline, you can visit Historic Mystic Seaport, Block Island and Napatree Point; all within an hour boat ride, depending on the winds and tides. Head south by boat and Montauk Point Long Island and other ports on Long Island can easily be visited on a delightful day trip. Travel east for slightly longer trips to Newport and Watch Hill, RI, or travel west towards New York and Fire Island. This home is definitely a boaters and sun lovers paradise!
