Waterfront Home with Deeded Private Beach
This private, beachfront property is a mid-century California contemporary inspired by the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. The brick ranch style house is situated on 1.33 acres of level, landscaped, lawn in a park like setting. This extraordinary property was built by a prominent, Connecticut physician in the early 1950’s and has been occupied by him and his family for over 53 years. The house is one of the few truly oceanfront properties currently available. The rear of this house faces Long Island Sound and has nearly 200 feet of private, deeded sandy beach accessed by a pleasant walk across the landscaped back yard.

The beach bank is protected from erosion by an engineered wall approved and inspected during it construction by both the EPA and the town of Stratford. This wall has withstood numerous storms since its construction in 1990 by a licensed and approved EPA contractor who recently assessed its replacement value at more than 250,000 dollars. This unique asset includes a set of stone steps for easy access to the private sandy beach.
The unique brickwork that flows throughout the house includes 2 large working fireplaces and is featured in the entry hall, living room and family room. There are magnificent views of Long Island Sound from nearly every room in the house, highlighted by floor to ceiling windows throughout.
Three of the bedrooms have beamed ceilings, all bedrooms have large sliding door closets and all rooms, except the kitchen, have direct access to the waterside of the house.
There are 2 bathrooms, located on the main level, each with built-in storage. The bathroom in the master bedroom features a shower with multiple sprays.
This house has 3 slate patios, a finished lower level family room with multiple closets and storage areas, an oversized 2 car attached garage with a window and a door to the side yard.
The home has breathtaking water views from both the front and the back and is within walking distance of one of the last operating lighthouses in the state and is also adjacent to the U.S. Fish and Game Wildlife preserve, that was formerly the Remington Arms Gun Club, (featured in the movie “Butterfield Eight”). Public golf and tennis facilities are located within a very short drive of the residence.
