***Morning Mist Cottage: More pictures & info, link below****
Come fall in love with the town of Stonington and Morning Mist Cottage. This charming, Victorian home offers you the coziness of times gone by with the comforts of today’s living. This delightful home sits prominently one street up from the ocean, offering breathtaking views of the Stonington Harbor with its colorful lobster boats and views to nearby islands.
Relish the view from throughout the home as most rooms capture stunning harbor scenes. Enjoy the charm of yesteryear with tin ceilings, original wood floors, antique chandeliers, intricate mouldings and paneled ceilings. The house has been adorned with a mixture of old and new; a beautiful gathering of local antiques and collectables blended with new furnishings to enhance your personal comfort.
You’ll appreciate the completely remodeled kitchen with all new appliances. White cabinets with glass doors showcase colorful dishes and glassware. Hand painted tiles depicting the picturesque Stonington Harbor view encircle the kitchen backsplash, mirroring the scenery just outside! Watch as the local lobsterman brings in a fresh days catch to boil at home in the oversized red lobster pot. Enjoy each bite at the "eat-in" kitchen table or have that romantic, candlelit dinner in the adjoining dining room and living room area. Later, sit back and relax in the family room where you’ll enjoy sinking into the overstuffed sofa to watch TV - equipped with DVD player and cable TV. Or just spend time together playing board games with family and friends. When needed, the family room also serves as an additional sleeping area with the queen-size sofa bed and adjoining full bath. A small front porch with an antique, wicker settee offers another retreat to unwind, sip your morning coffee, catch up on your favorite reading materials or take in the festive mood of Stonington Harbor.
At the end of the day, the elegant stairway with curving banister leads guests to the master suite and remaining two bedrooms. The spacious master "sanctuary" with sitting area is a delightful retreat offering peace and privacy. Sink into the new, premium plush, king-size bed with crisp, new linens and pillows. Sit in the white wicker chairs and enjoy the fabulous picture window that captures unrivaled views of the harbor. Two quaint bedrooms complete the upstairs sleeping accommodations. The front bedroom offers a set of twin beds with all new mattresses and bedding. The back bedroom features a full-size bed with a comfortable, new mattress, adorned with a beautiful antique quilt. A full bath and separate laundry facilities including a washer and dryer are also found on this level.
Situated on ¼ acre, the yard beckons the family to sit out and smell the fresh sea air or picnic in the grass. The Adirondack chairs nestled near the huge granite rock wall are a perfect spot to sit back and again enjoy the harbor view, soak up some sun and be refreshed by the cool ocean breezes. Morning Mist Cottage is a special place you’ll dream of returning to each year. |
