Scenic water- oriented lifestyle
Colonial on a bluff has views of Long Island Sound
The ultimate in a water- oriented lifestyle is at hand in this exquisite colonial set high on a bluff affording breathtaking views of Long Island Sound, Milford Harbor and Charles Island. The home is located on a private drive in the Eveningside community, Milford’s premier luxury address. Just a few steps away is Gulf Beach and the picturesque harbor, shops, restaurants and train station.
Built in 2000 with the highest quality construction, this custom colonial home affords the very best of beach living paired with an abundance of privacy and luxurious amenities that leave nothing to be desired, including a Gunite pool with a waterfall, an outdoor kitchen, a media room, a wine tasting cellar and an exercise room with a sauna.
“It is quite rare to find a home on the water that offers the privacy and feel of a suburban home,” listing agent Frank D’Ostilio said. “Because beach living is more casual, new owners may often part with a treasured dining room or formal living room arrangement. But here, you can have a waterfront lifestyle and privacy, all with the comforts of a traditional home.”
The glorious .49- acre setting is graced with beautiful covered patios, gardens, balconies and meticulously manicured grounds. The private and tranquil backyard is a true retreat as a gorgeous stone wall, walkways and meticulous landscaping encompass the expansive patio, heated pool with waterfall and cabana with outdoor kitchen and full bath.
A dramatic, yet inviting twostory foyer with a granite floor creates an impressive entrance to this sun- drenched home, brimming with elegance and attention to detail throughout its 5,555 square feet.
The open floor plan boasts grand entertaining areas including a stunning living room with cathedral ceiling with skylights, a soaring stone fireplace and cus- tom bird’s eye maple cabinetry with built- in wet bar and entertainment center. An interior balcony, graceful archways and columns provide architectural interest. Two sets of French doors lead to a covered veranda, patio, outdoor kitchen and heated Gunite pool.
The formal dining room is open to the kitchen and main living area. It enjoys a wonderful seaside ambience with walls of windows and French doors that allow for captivating views of sunsets and Long Island Sound.
The kitchen is the heart of the home featuring custom bird’s eye maple cabinetry, Sub- Zero, Viking and Dacor appliances. A tray ceiling with hand- painted detail accent both the dining room and breakfast nook.
A private study has its own separate entrance, wet bar and powder room and enjoys views of Charles Island and the boats in the Sound.
At day’s end, the luxurious first- floor master suite offers a wonderful escape among cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace and French doors to the covered patio and pool area. Custom maple cabinetry paired with marble, a walk- in shower and jacuzzi tub highlight the tasteful and indulgent master bath.
A second master bedroom on upper level features French doors to a private balcony with water views and en- suite bath. Two guest rooms are graciously sized with cathedral ceilings and share a balcony.
Connoisseurs will appreciate the beautiful wine tasting room featuring temperature control, hand painted ceiling with cove lighting, cork floor, copper sink and walls of built- ins. The media room with projection screen and wet bar is the perfect place for movie night or watching the big game. There is also an expansive
pool table room as well as an exercise room with sauna and half bath.
Additional features include a heated two- plus car garage, security, sound system and more. Listing agent:
