Milford, CT                            (also listed under Homes) Enjoy some of the best water views and sun set views in town from this 10 room Colonial (built in 1900 with approx 3400 sf of living space). Exquisitely brimming water views create an unforgettable setting for this  peerless Turn-of-the-Century Victorian Home, perched 20 feet above Long Island Sound with its own 84 foot-long private beach.  Surrounded by 0.37 acres of verdant lawns and filled with mesmerizing water vistas, this enchanting vintage residence exists in a world of sea and sky embracing the glittering beauty of its extraordinary setting. The 3,296 square feet of indoor living space encompass 9+ rooms, 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths.

Romantic touches of a by-gone era exude throughout most of the home, including leaded and stained glass and 9 foot ceilings on the main level.

A newly added wrap-around front porch, connecting front and side doors to the house, leads directly into a welcoming foyer, which opens into the original dining room with built-in leaded glass cabinets.

The present owners are using this room presently as a den. The entire length of  the water facing living room wall is taken up by wonderful old fashioned windows and a door that opens onto a wide rocking-chair-porch, a favorite spot to watch unforgettable sunset views over the water.

Much of the house has undergone extensive renovations including a new custom cherry wood kitchen with handcrafted leaded cabinet fronts, limestone counters, stainless steel appliances and a shimmering 'Java Cream' mosaic marble floor which appears as sparkling as the dazzling waters views beyond.

A large, old-fashioned pantry room off the kitchen adds excellent storage space and provides a convenient home for washer & dryer.

A unique staircase brings you to the second floor where we enter the master bedroom suite, encompassing a sitting room, a two person enclosed reading porch, a walk-in closet and a new bathroom with soaking tub and a separate, oversized shower. Two additional bedrooms on this level, one with its own water view deck, share another splendid bathroom with a dual sink and a whirlpool tub.

The third floor walk-up attic has been turned into a additional cathedral ceilinged living space with skylights, including a great sitting room with built-in book cases, a new gas fireplace , a fourth bedroom plus a full bath.

Among the many improvements are just to mention a few: a new seawall-interlocking concrete blocks underneath grass which extends vertically to the top of the wall, new decks with Timbertech, new porches, architectural shingled roof, central air conditioning and an in-ground Fairfield pool.
