The Lifestyle

The Beginning

A Family's Waterfront Legacy

When the current owners first saw the property, the house was uncared for and the grounds unmaintained — but the moment they saw the view, they were captivated. Their daughter and son-in-law, who had searched the coast from Connecticut to Maine for over six months, were amazed by amenities they couldn't find anywhere else.

“You didn't even realize how amazing the property was until you stepped foot on it.”

Since then, the estate has been the setting for Mother's Day brunches at the boathouse, Fourth of July celebrations on the lawn, Father's Day on the overlook deck, and winter holidays gathered around the open floor plan with views across the entire property.
