About this home
Rarely does a home offer such an extraordinary combination of setting, style, and convenience. Perched along Long Island Sound in the heart of Saugatuck, this beautifully renovated residence captures sweeping 270-degree waterfront views, with sailboats, paddleboarders, and the ever-changing rhythm of the Sound providing a captivating backdrop from morning through evening. Inside, sophisticated design meets relaxed coastal living. The home was thoughtfully reimagined by its talented local photographer owner, whose discerning eye is evident throughout. A striking new kitchen, beautifully renovated bathrooms, and hardwood floors create a refined yet welcoming interior. The waterfront experience continues outdoors with a private, low-maintenance yard and patio designed for effortless entertaining and quiet enjoyment. A private dock accommodates a small boat or kayak, putting the Sound just steps away and making boating and time on the water an integral part of daily life. Beyond its remarkable waterfront setting, the property offers exceptional accessibility, with the train station only minutes away for a convenient commute to New York City. A truly special Saugatuck offering where design, nature, and an enviable waterfront lifestyle come together.
Saugatuck Shores, located between the Saugatuck River and Long Island Sound, is a waterfront and residential Westport neighborhood with salt-marsh edges and dock-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Compo Road South and Riverside Avenue corridor, where marina traffic, cyclists, and shoreline views set a coastal rhythm. Low-slung beach cottages mix with updated shingle-style homes, and many blocks end at water or tidal inlets. Sherwood Island State Park frames the landscape with dunes, trails, and open sky. The Saugatuck Rowing Club adds a working-waterfront note along the river. Compo Beach and the Westport Country Playhouse sit nearby as cultural anchors beyond the shoreline streets.
