In Branford, and directly on Long Island Sound, a stunning antique is on the market listed for $2,995,000. The circa-1871 Victorian is like a dollhouse come to life and features the fanciful styling of the era, including elaborate gingerbread, peaked rooftops and, best of all, wraparound porches. Indeed, one of the two primary suites, which comprises the entire second floor, features a three-sided porch, as well as a sitting room, a dressing room and laundry facilities.
On the main floor, highlights include a turret-like space that houses a dining table, a wraparound porch that encircles the living room and another primary suite. The list of outdoor amenities is topped by the 250 feet of private sandy beach and the .66-acre lot also features a patio and an outdoor kitchen.
Like a doll house come to life, the 19th-century home has timeless allure. Learn more from Margaret Muir of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty, who holds the listing
