Description
Perched above the sweeping parade grounds of historic Fort Wright, the 857 Whistler house stands as one of Fishers Island’s most iconic residences. Built during the Fort’s storied military era, this grand 7-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers timeless architectural character, commanding views, and an unmatched sense of place. Set on Fort Stretch, the property overlooks the expansive green of the former parade grounds and the sparkling waters of Long Island Sound, capturing both history and horizon in every direction. The home’s classic design, generous proportions, and inviting layout reflect its heritage as officers’ housing — built for gathering, entertaining, and coastal living. Inside, you’ll find light-filled rooms, original period details, and ample space for family and guests across three levels. The Scott House provides an exceptional opportunity for a buyer to add your own touch through thoughtful updates or full-scale renovation, honoring the home’s past while shaping its next chapter. Steeped in history yet brimming with potential, the 857 Whistler house is a rare opportunity to own a landmark property that captures the essence of Fishers Island — its past, its views, and its enduring charm.
