The main level includes a full kitchen, with all new appliances and a breakfast bar overlooking a formal dining area. This level also has a full bath, living and sitting rooms (complete with gas fireplace) opening to a private natural deck with spectacular views of an abutting granite ledge and woods.
The upper level has two large bedrooms and two full baths, plus a yoga/meditation room. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed, private deck, and full bath. The second bedroom has a full bed (plus a full futon), with water views and is adjacent to another upstairs bathroom with a tiled shower.
A laundry is located in the finished basement. Fresh, high quality linens, towels, etc. provided.
We offer a SMOKE FREE, natural environment perfect for quiet safe meditative thought and relaxation, close to the beaches, hiking trails and gentle beauty of the Connecticut shoreline, while less than 10 miles from the museums, galleries, theater and other cultural attractions of New Haven and Yale.
