Captain Silas Beebe, shipmaster and ice merchant, created an enduring legacy in this timeless, 19th century gentleman's farm with 524' of frontage on Beebe Cove. Extensive renovations ensure the grandeur remains for another two centuries. Waterfront grounds are framed by splendid hardscape, specimen trees and mature gardens leading to an impressive barn. Beyond, an allee of roses and stone walls lead to the heated pool. Rambling and comfortable, the main home features a well-appointed, eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry. Just beyond, banks of windows illuminate the dining room and offer magnificent views. Find a parlor and a formal living room with fireplaces-nine total throughout the home. Those on the main level are in use. Pumpkin pine bookcases and paneling warm a stately office. Upstairs, find a cozy central den at the landing and three bedrooms each with full bath including the primary with dressing area. The third floor "maids' quarters" offers two additional bedrooms, ensuite bath and a sitting area. The adjacent 1 BR, 1.5 BA, 1135 SF guest house was completely rebuilt in 2022 to FEMA standard. The surrounding grounds which abut the Avalonia Preserve fall gently to the cove and dock, a remnant of Beebe's ice harvesting business. Finish the perfect day by taking a dip in the cove or watching the sunset. This is a seldom found opportunity to own a legacy property less than 2 hours to Boston and 2.5 hours to New York and a stone's throw to Noank and Mystic.
