There’s no time like spring to list coastal homes in New England. Buyers have summer days on the brain, and are often motivated to close deals fast so they can enjoy these warm months in their splashy new haven.
In Rowayton, Connecticut, a waterfront gem just listed with a price tag geared toward those with very high spending power and high expectations. For someone who want a coastal home just a train ride from New York City, it could be a perfect year-round residence or summer retreat for frequent gathering or unwinding. The house, designed by the award-winning Cardello Architects, is listed for $10.495 million.
While the front exterior has a timeless, traditional look, the interiors await with a blend of contemporary, crisp, and fashionable touches. Straight away, the double-height foyer is show-stopping and introduces blue views along with delicate, glass pendants that harken to ocean water droplets. You can rush straight through to the sleek terrace overlooking the pool and shoreline, or linger inside to discover the modern chef’s kitchen, marble fireplace, and large walls for displaying art.
Across the 6,045-square-foot residence, cool coastal tones and a white palette reign as well as high-quality finishes like Venetian plaster and white oak flooring. There’s a refined tranquility and livability about all the spaces, including the four bedrooms, without ever feeling too casual. The design is incredibly intentional and suave, complementing the surroundings beautifully.
