As you drive through the gates of Wilson Point, a private gated waterfront enclave adjacent to Rowayton, you realize you are in another world.

Elegant homes on quiet roads — many with astounding water views all have access to the Wilson Point Beach Club — with a huge sandy beach, tennis courts and clubhouse, plus a separate dock available for launching smaller crafts to access larger boats at their moorings.

This 1-acre colonial on Nathan Hale Drive offers spectacula­r water views. Cutting edge features, according to listing agent Nancy Dauk of Halstead Connecticu­t, LLC, include exposed handhewn antique oak beams with character oak flooring throughout, 10-foot ceilings, and disappeari­ng double-folding glass foyer doors open to gorgeous water views.

There is also a glass-enclosed walk-in bar with beverage and wine refrigerat­ors in the entry hall, illuminate­d glass staircase to the second floor and radiant floor heating throughout the entire first floor plus upstairs baths. A special bonus is the separate home office/ studio located on the property.

The profession­al chef’s kitchen is an entertaini­ng area itself. The huge Everest quartzite center island is perfect for hosting gatherings of any size. Appliances include a SubZero refrigerat­or, Live six-burner gas range with skimmer burner, griddle, and grill and wok ring. The 48" extra-long custom kitchen sink is a stand-out feature offering a galley sink system complete with serving dishes fit into custom made wooden boards offering a myriad of delicious food and condiments restaurant-designed for fun and easy eating pleasure. Additional components, Dauk said, are stateof-the-art “garage door” cabinets, appliance garages and pantry.

The family room with cathedral ceiling and magnificen­t water views, open to the kitchen, features a custom designed and engineered Indiana limestone fireplace surround and bar with a waterfall edge. It offers easy access to the private flagstone terrace with builtin grill area, river rock surround and custom lighting plus a separate gas fire pit.

Ample storage is provided in the mudroom with a unique rope flooring design integrated into the heated character oak floor.

The large first floor bedroom with custom bath offers privacy for guests or family members alike.

“A three-sided river rock fireplace welcomes you into a secondfloo­r family room featuring a coffee bar and French doors to the sunbathing deck, the perfect spot to relax, unwind and observe boating activity,” Dauk said.

The sun filled master suite with panoramic water views is perfectly designed. Luxury abounds in the master bath with custom closets, soaking tub, top-of-the-line shower interiors featuring honed marble and Laborite Bianca granite combinatio­n with lighted shower niches.

Two additional bedrooms are on the second floor, one with waterfall shower head and mesmerizin­g LED variable color options. Another second-floor large family room with gas fireplace and ship lap high gloss walls and sensationa­l bathroom is a magic ingredient.

The third floor offers a large multi-functional room with zinc walls and astounding water views plus huge, deep additional walkin storage areas.

Additional features include an attached three-car heated garage.
