Contemporary coastal elegance meets remarkable privacy along South Cove in Old Saybrook.

Contemporary coastal elegance meets remarkable privacy along South Cove in Old Saybrook. Set well back from the road on 1.8 acres, this distinctive 3,188-square-foot cedar-sided residence captures sweeping water views from nearly every room. Originally built in 1965 and completely rebuilt in 1991, the home was thoughtfully designed to embrace its spectacular setting, with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and seamless connections to the outdoors. The living room features custom built-ins, a gas fireplace, wet bar, and sliders to a spacious deck overlooking the cove. The kitchen flows into a vaulted family room and opens to a 300-square-foot enclosed porch-an inviting space for entertaining or relaxing. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, deck access, water views, dual bathrooms, and an impressive 120-square-foot walk-in closet. A formal dining room, additional bedroom, and separate laundry room complete the first floor. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. With 1.8 private acres and 278 feet of frontage along South Cove, this property offers a rare blend of waterfront, space, and seclusion. Whether enjoyed as a year-round residence or treasured coastal retreat, this is a setting that simply cannot be replicated.
