About This Home
The Point House in Stonington, which was originally built in 1908 by the Army Corps of Engineers for the lighthouse keeper, sits in front of the Stonington Lighthouse with 270 degree water views, offering vistas of Fishers Island, Watch Hill and even to Montauk and Block Island. The house and gardens are in immaculate condition, having been constructed in its current form in 2002 by Architect Oliver Cope and landscape design by Peter Cummin, followed by a complete interior overhaul by world-renowned architect Peter Marino in 2008 to resemble the Sardinian Yacht Club Costa Esmeralda, which Marino designed and restyled in 2003. The great living room features 17 tall windows and has a 15 ft ceiling with water views East, South and West. The Point House has three wood-burning fire places, a heated swimming pool, beautiful stone terraces, a 3 car garage, 7 bedrooms, a wine cellar, steam room, and an amazing kitchen/family room. This last house on Water Street on Stonington Point is a quick walk from the charming and historic town of Stonington and from its own dock, protected by breakwaters, it is just a few minutes by tender to reach the house’s own deep water mooring in Stonington Harbor. Offered for the first time in almost 30 years, the Point House is a rare and spectacular offering that is a must see for anyone looking for a top New England waterfront home with exquisite style and luxury, ideal for family living, watersports and entertaining.
