The Pelatiah Leete House is perched on a private, sweeping knoll with WATERVIEWS of Shell Beach Lagoon running into Long Island Sound. This Colonial Home is as close as one gets to genuine American History. Only 5 families have inhabited this 1710 English Post & Beam home that has survived Colonial Times and a chapter in the Revolutionary War. One of the first CT structures to be admitted to the National Register of Historical Places, NO building restrictions! Lovingly restored to its authentic past, this Crimson seaside beauty is an antique purist's dream come true! Attention to period details is evident: 4 Fireplaces (some with beehive ovens) Original Wide Board Chestnut Flooring, Guilford & Boston Cupboards, Borning Room & Indian Door. Updated Kitchen with Dutch Door leads to gracious Patio. Crushed white stones and specimen plantings surround the 4 Garden Rooms magically located throughout the property. The Pelatiah Leete House marries American history with subtle, modern living. Mins to town and beach, 2 hour drive to NYC & Boston.
