Enticing views at waterfront colonial
Milford three-bedroom was custom-built in 2005
As you step through the welcoming front entryway of 91 Hillside Ave., you will instantly become captivated by the calming sea breezes and stunning sunsets that surround this spectacular waterfront home.
According to the property’s listing agent Charlotte Cotton, the residence was custom-built to the current owner’s specifications in 2005. Throughout the past 13 years, the home has remained under the same ownership and has been lovingly maintained by its owners.
“The present homeowners custom designed and built the house to be their dream home,” Cotton said.
The current owners selected the property where the home was to be built due to its location on a lovely street in the very desirable Woodmont section of Milford, Cotton said. In addition to its enticing water views, the property is also accented by beautiful gardens and in close vicinity to several area beaches and parks.
Woodmont was incorporated as a borough of Milford in 1903, according to a recent article in Milford Living Magazine. A trolley once provided direct service to and from New Haven, “which helped to foster the area’s popularity as a bustling beach community,” the article explains.
Meanwhile, the residence itself contains many luxurious details throughout its spacious open floor plan, including a gourmet chef’s kitchen complete with a granite-topped center island and sleek stainless steel appliances.
The property truly offers “perfection throughout,” Cotton remarked, and is richly appointed with a wealth of charming details. The floors are adorned with beautiful Brazilian cherry hardwood, while a gas fireplace offers warmth and ambience on breezy winter evenings.
The home also features spacious living and dining room spaces, which are set in an elegant open floor plan facing the sea. A lovely sunroom also provides
panoramic water views. The easy flow of the home’s layout will serve to provide the ideal setting for family gatherings and casual get-togethers with friends.
When one needs a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the master bedroom suite and its adjacent bathroom offer a peaceful retreat. These luxurious spaces contain a large soaking tub, double sinks and lovely water views.
Other features of note throughout the home include its abundant gathering places for entertaining, a spacious two-car garage and a generously sized bonus area. This space can be used as a guest suite, his and hers home office or a media room.
Although the home is direct waterfront, the next owners will not need to stress about the integrity of the home as a result of potential weather events. Cotton explained that the home was custom built with “extraordinary planning and design” and was constructed in full compliance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s requirements.
According to Cotton, the home is not listed in the Multiple Listing Service and is presently being shown by appointment only.
