About This Home
Rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views of Long Island Sound from a quiet street just off Maple Avenue in sought-after Knollwood Beach. This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bath coastal retreat, just one street from the water, offers unobstructed views and is ideal as a year-round home or second getaway. The bright, open floor plan is designed to capture the scenery, with an oversized living/dining area featuring hardwood floors, a custom stone propane fireplace, and a wall of south-facing windows. An oversized one-car garage, mudroom, and laundry area welcome you inside. The custom white kitchen features quartzite countertops, porcelain farm sink, stainless appliances, and a Bosch propane range-perfect for entertaining. The first floor also offers an updated full bath and flexible bedroom or office. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts cathedral ceilings, a custom bath with dual sinks, tiled shower, and generous closets. A third bedroom, remodeled full bath, and family room with French doors lead to a covered deck with panoramic water views. The partially finished lower level provides additional living space and storage. Features include dual street access, ample parking, whole-house generator, alarm system with cameras, fenced yard with mature landscaping, and new Mitsubishi split HVAC (2024). Meticulously maintained and not in a flood zone-an exceptional shoreline opportunity.
