Esteemed shipmaster Captain Silas Beebe created an enduring legacy at this 19th-century gentleman's farm with 524' of Beebe Cove frontage. Extensive renovations preserved the historic grandeur while incorporating modern updates. The waterfront grounds, featured in major motion pictures including a Hallmark classic, are anchored by the restored chestnut barn, heirloom gardens, specimen trees, and grand hardscape. Banks of roses and extensive hydrangea frame the grounds and stone walls leading to a heated pool. The backdrop with the adjacent barn creates a magical entertaining area. Inside the main home, extensive millwork - pumpkin pine paneling, built-ins and detailed moldings are found throughout. A spacious eat-in kitchen with butler's pantry opens to a formal dining room overlooking the cove, and the adjacent living room and parlor provide comfortably elegant gathering spaces. Nine fireplaces, several in use, offer winter ambiance. Upstairs, a central den connects three en-suite bedrooms including the primary with dressing area. The third floor, once maids' quarters, offers two bedrooms, full bath and sitting area. The guest house was rebuilt in 2022 echoing the home's character with high end updates including marble baths. Abutting Avalonia Preserve, the grounds slope to a private dock, a remnant of the ice harvesting trade and the pristine cove. A seldom found legacy property. Stunning. 2.5 hours to Boston/NYC, and a stone's throw to downtown Mystic and Noank. Should someone wish to formally separate the house and guest house into two properties, the Town of Groton has approved the subdivision subject to the drilling of a new well to service the guest quarters. Fireplaces on the main level are in use. All other fireplaces are decorative.
