Overview

Escape onto Rye's coveted Milton Point to this very private nearly 2-acre waterfront sanctuary where the sun rises to meet you over the Long Island Sound.

Take in the stunning water views over the pool terrace, across the sweeping lawn to the dock and beach on the quiet, protected Pine Island cove and then down east across the sound as far as the eye can see. Adjacent to the living room, the open floor plan extends to the eat-in kitchen which is next to a large dining area that includes a convivial fireplace setting for entertaining and enjoying. the view. The primary bedroom suite is a retreat within a retreat, perfect for reflecting and reading. The bedroom has a wall of glass doors with views to the sound.

One of the bedroom suites is designed with its own entrance from outside offering privacy for staff or guests. The positive feeling this home evokes allows you to imagine Arthur Murray the original owner of this estate dancing throughout the rooms and around the pool terrace.
