Nestled just off Niantic River Road, this delightful home is steps from the scenic Niantic River, a predominantly tidal river in eastern Connecticut. The 5.2-mile river is crossed by the Niantic River Bridge, which carries Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and connects the towns of East Lyme/Niantic and Waterford. With fantastic fishing and kayaking opportunities, the river's mouth opens to the Long Island Sound, where you'll find tranquil waves and saltwater beaches within 1-2 miles.
Take a leisurely stroll or bike ride to explore nearby eateries, such as the renowned seafood restaurant, The Dock, Fat Tuna. Cross the bridge into Niantic to discover an array of charming antique, consignment and upscale retail shops. Don't miss the exquisite chocolate croissants at Sift, a French bakery, while enjoying views of the Long Island Sound.
Mohegan Sun and Foxwood casinos within 20-30 minutes. Mystic aquarium and Seaport nearby similar distance. Beluga whales to make your day.
Guest access
Entire home, yard, off street parking. Private river access to beach and kayak/ paddle boarding. Put in at end of street, 3 doors away.

What makes this property unique
We live here when taking care of aging parents. So we see what needs pop up in the home and constantly renovate, recreate and add to. This is a home. We love it and love sharing it. From the charming hidey hole upstairs to kayaks to local restaurants and haunts. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
