| 1st Floor Description:As you drive through the stone pillars with the view of Harthaven Harbor and the Sound in front of you and the historic "summer cottage" on your left, you know you have stepped back in time where relaxation, family and all water activities are the priority. The classic entrance to the large glass enclosed porch with well placed screens is an idyllic location for breakfast or mid afternoon lemonade. It sets the mood for an informal lifestyle that includes bathing suits, freshly picked clams and beach sand. The living room beyond with beach stone fireplace provides a wonderful gathering space for all. The dining room to the left encourages all to sit and share the events of the day. The pantry leads to the efficient kitchen and powder room and laundry beyond. A bedroom (maid's room) and another screened porch occupy the north end of the house. The mellow chestnut interior was designed to resist the summer heat and keep the house cool; clever 1915 architecture. | 2nd Floor Description:The second floor interior wood finishes emulate the first floor and provide the same cooling effect. There are five bedrooms of varying sizes on the second floor along with three bathrooms, grand for the vintage of the house. Another wonderful porch on the north side is a great luxury for evening reading or just sitting. The fifth bedroom on the south side has a private screened porch. The uniquely wonderful, small angled windows on the wings of the house are pleasantly surprising architectural features. The original wiring is visible throughout the house and adds even more charm to an already wonderfully characteristic home. | Half Baths:2 |
