Welcome to our woodland sanctuary! This truly special getaway has something for everyone, whether you like sailing, kayaking, hiking, dining in the neighboring towns, or simply enjoying the natural woodland setting. Our spacious, family-friendly ranch home features a bright living room with expansive windows looking onto the surrounding 1.5-acre woods. Vaulted ceiling, wood paneling, and a cozy fireplace complete the peaceful gathering space. Rustic flagstone floors invite you into an open dining room and newly renovated kitchen, while modern appliances—including brand new light fixtures and Frigidaire induction stove—make dining-in a pleasure. Three bedrooms, a den/office (with a pull-out couch), laundry room, sunroom with skylights, and a private master bathroom make space for multiple guests. Enjoy an additional guest bathroom complete with Japanese soaking tub, rain shower, and heated towel rack. The house has been newly upgraded with central air-conditioning, fans in all the bedrooms, on-demand hot water, all new windows and doors, and solar panels. Also, a 40A Level-2 EV charger is available for an additional fee. A lush yard provides grass underfoot and flowers all summer long, and features a newly-installed patio with a Weber barbecue and fire pit. Bask in the sunny front yard while watching birds zip overhead, or stroll beneath the forest canopy in search of frogs and dragonflies. The animal life is vibrant, so keep an eye out for deer, fox, wild turkeys, squirrels, owls, ospreys, and chipmunks. At night, marvel at the panorama of twinkling fireflies, accompanied by a harmonious chorus of crickets and frogs. Between forest, marsh, and seaside, the area offers a wealth of contrasts. A ten-minute walk takes you to Chaffinch Island Park, where trees give way to seaside wetlands, and the sound of forest life is replaced by the calls of osprey and other seabirds. The park offers picnic tables, grills, tidal pools, and a long stretch of sandy beach. Days can be spent watching boats go in and out of the Guilford Yacht Club, or dipping your toes in the cool seawater. Bring your own paddle board or kayak, and you can slide right in the water for a lap around Guilford Harbor or up the West River. Take another short stroll to Barbara Pine Memorial Park, and you’ll find a secluded sand beach and astonishing views of the water. The house is ideally located 2 hours from NYC by car (2.5 hours by train), and less than 2 miles from the town of Guilford and the local Shoreline East train station. The historic town of Guilford offers an array of activities. Take a stroll around the town green, pop into some of the locally owned shops, or head to the Guilford Town Marina, where you’ll find multiple options for seaside dining on Long Island Sound. For more info on the town of Guilford, visit: https://www.ctvisit.com/listings/town-guilford We hope you will choose to stay at our beloved house, one of the original homes on Chaffinch Island Road, where adventure and relaxation await!
