Often family members and/or guests will jockey for the room or suite with the best view in the house. That’s not necessary at this Colonial, 107 Saddle Rock Road in Stamford’s Shippan neighborhood.
Built in 1915 as Shippan was coming of age as a summer or year-round destination for New York’s and Stamford’s moneyed classes and then rebuilt entirely in 1998 – the 5,500-square-foot clapboard and shingle house boasts heady views of the Long Island Sound and New York City from any of the graciously proportioned rooms. Credit expansive windows and French doors that let in the beauty of nature and particularly the sea in all its mutable enchantment as well as terraces designed for indoor/outdoor entertaining and relaxed living. (In all, there are four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms.)
This 1.16 level-acre property boasts a pool, a hot tub, a pool house and formal gardens as well as a 300-foot private beach with direct access to boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming.
The house lists for $5,495,000. For more, call Houlihan Lawrence’s Amanda Bates Goodro at 203-536-1195.
