32 Sea Ln, Old Saybrook, CT 06475

Easy breezy beach days. Re-imagined and re-built as a classic Nantucket cape, "Bliss by the Sea" is set high above the water with stunning views across Long Island Sound. Creatively designed to accommodate the small and large gatherings that are inherent at the beach, the four season porch runs fully across the water side of the house providing intimate areas for reading or board games, small group dining or simple water gazing. Equally important, using both standard and pocket French Doors, the porch connects and expands the more traditional spaces of the living and dining rooms. An entertainment wet bar, with cleverly hidden small ice maker and refrigerator, flows into a dream of a cook's kitchen appointed with Viking range and hood and Subzero refrigeration. Throughout the house, the careful selection of gleaming cherry countertops, wood flooring, moldings and plumbing fixtures hint at an earlier era of beach cottage living. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the kitchen with the curation of icebox cabinet pulls, soapstone counters and a built in hutch with beadboard backing. The colors too hint of soft sunny breezes and blue green water meeting blue blue sky. For practicality, "Bliss by the Sea" now includes a two car detached garage with a bonus room above ideal for rainy day play. The master suite features its own balcony overlooking glinting moonlit water. It is not just a home on the water, it is a feeling and an attitude of easy breezy.
