    On Wamphassuc Point, an exclusive contemporary home (sponsored)

    Surround yourself with the magical panoramic vistas of Long Island Sound and the uninterrupted views spanning three states: Connecticut, Watch Hill and Fisher's Island.

    Located on the tip of exclusive Wamphassuc Point, a private peninsula in Stonington, this recently renovated contemporary home features a private sandy beach and 120-foot deep water dock. The current owners called upon their trusted designer, Robin Rountree of Threetrees Interiors, to ensure that the newly restored home would embrace the waterfront while providing comfortable living indoors. Her extensive renovations exceeded all expectations.

    The expanded kitchen is a cook's dream and smoothly transitions to the dining area and family room. It includes a 14-foot soft gray stone island, sleek white cabinetry, new stainless appliances, indoor grill and double pantries.

    The entire first floor is sprinkled with innovative lighting. An open floor plan with flexible space is underscored by refined workmanship including crown moldings, a natural stone fireplace, and a dramatic second floor balcony open to the living room below. Floor to ceiling windows provide light-filled rooms with gorgeous views of crystal waters in every season.

    Sunlight and glimpses of the water flood the first floor master bedroom, which boasts plenty of storage. There is also a stunning private bath featuring

    a glass Roman shower, soaking tub, distinctive vanity finished with Imperial Danby marble. The features are all surrounded by warm "bleached wood" tile.

    Romantic seascapes are enjoyed on the second floor sundeck located off the sitting room with three additional bedrooms and two recreated baths. An apartment with a separate entrance provides a full kitchen, living area, bath and two more bedrooms, all providing sea breezes and views of sailboats across the Point. Perfect for guests, in-laws, or an artist's studio, it is privately located above the oversized three-car garage.

    A covered brick patio with outdoor shower is located next to the full basement, which includes dressing rooms and a full bathroom. Entrance from the garage serves as mud room and laundry room with built-in benches and storage.

    Distinctly nautical, Stonington is home to the state's only commercial fishing fleet and has become a popular destination for yachting enthusiasts and saltwater anglers. Shop one-of-a-kind boutiques, visit a vineyard, stroll the many local art galleries, sail along the shoreline, or dine in the many casual seaside restaurants in Stonington Borough, historic Mystic Village, or Watch Hill. Its central location in a classic New England seaside town, just two hours from New York or Boston, offers residents a perfect retreat and an enviable lifestyle.

    Offered at $2.5 million, Terry Kemper of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage invites you to preview this magical property from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 3.

    To reach this home, take Route 1 to Wamphassuc. Proceed through the "Residents Only" gates and continue to the end. The driveway is at the end on the left, marked as number 261.
