At the edge of Stonington Harbor, where sailboats move slowly through the water and the village wakes each morning to the rhythm of the tide, 88 Water Street offers a rare opportunity to live directly within one of New England's most beloved coastal communities. This historic home dates to 1840, yet today it feels distinctly current following an extensive renovation completed in 2022. The result is a residence that respects its heritage while embracing the ease and openness expected of modern coastal living. Inside, more than 3,400 square feet of thoughtfully reimagined space unfold across multiple levels, with views of the harbor appearing at nearly every turn. The home's central living spaces flow naturally from one room to the next, creating an environment designed as much for relaxed daily life as it is for hosting friends and family. A spacious kitchen anchors the main level, centered around a generous island and complemented by casual gathering areas that invite conversation long after dinner ends. Nearby living and dining rooms retain the warmth and character expected in a home of this era, anchored by a traditional fireplace that brings a sense of intimacy to the space. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys its own private outlook toward the water, with direct access to a deck that feels perfectly suited for quiet mornings overlooking the harbor. Additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests.
