About this home
Welcome to 36 Waterside Lane, a unique historic home located steps from Clinton Town Beach. With its four bedrooms, six fireplaces, wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and original window sashes, this home exudes character throughout. The layout is generous and flexible - studios, libraries, guest quarters, laundry room, walk-in pantry, home offices - without losing the bones that make this place what it is. There is an unmistakable sense of craftsmanship here that no newly constructed residence can reproduce. A detached two-car garage equipped with built-in workbenches, pegboard walls, oversized shelving and 780sq feet of work area provides ample space for an artist's studio, pottery shed, craftsman workshop, or garage band. Additional storage space can be found in the full basement and walk-up attic. Set on .88 acres, professionally landscaped, with extensive stonework, a back patio and lined with mature trees offering shade, this is a rare find so close to everything. Walk to Clinton Town Beach or downtown that's alive with cafes, restaurants, shops, music and theater - a true New England maritime gem! A chance to own what can't be built new: authenticity, craftsmanship, and provenance, ready for its next chapter. Recent updates: new convection gas range with air-fry, new hood, new 50-year roof, full interior/exterior repaint, 100+ panes of glass replaced, original sashes restored, new bulkhead and basement windows.
Owner is a licensed Real Estate Agent. This is an interior lot with a gate. Please no drive by's. There isn't space to turn around unless gate is open, which will be open during scheduled showings.
Clinton Village Historic District, located between the Indian River and Clinton Harbor, is a historic and walkable Clinton neighborhood with a classic New England streetscape and a shoreline backdrop. The character concentrates around the intersection of Main Street and East Main Street, where brick storefronts, small galleries, and café windows set a steady, day-to-evening rhythm. Architectural details lean Federal and Victorian, with clapboard facades, deep porches, and tidy civic greens. The Clinton Art Gallery anchors local culture with rotating exhibitions and community events. The Henry Carter Hull Library adds a quiet, design-forward public interior for reading and programs. A short drive leads to Hammonasset Beach State Park for dunes, trails, and long-water views.
