It’s Better at the Beach


Built in 2007, this Seaside Avenue home has been used as a year-round weekend getaway.

This three-bedroom, 2007 cottage in Westbrook makes the most of its spot just steps to the beach. The open floor plan of this pristine seasonal property provides impressive views of Long Island Sound.

A vaulted ceiling with cupola in the great room lets light flow into the open kitchen with white cabinetry, granite counters, and a tiled back splash. Entertaining is made even easier with a wet bar in the dining area. All three rooms take in the ever-changing water views.

A full bath and three bedrooms with hardwood floors and ceiling fans finish the top floor, though, with a private beach about 50 feet down the sandy drive, it’s likely that most time will be spent outside watching the waves and weather.

Built to FEMA specs, the home’s first floor provides abundant storage, a single-car garage, and, while not designated living space, it’s a casual spot for games or family/friend overflow—plus the realtor promises annual flood insurance premiums of less than $500. The home is also a quick, barefoot walk to one of the largest boat basins in the area.

This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty for $587,000. For more information or a showing, contact Betsy Anderson at 203-641-3233.
