Nestled on nearly an acre of distinct, gently curved waterfront land with 188 feet of shoreline and a dock, this stunning Colonial summer residence is now priced at $7.9 million, down from its initial listing of $8.7 million in June. The property, constructed in 2003 for the late Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, by Tallman Building Co., features published interiors and stunning views of Southport Harbor, Long Island Sound, and the Country Club of Fairfield. It sold last in 2007 for $10.75 million. This elegantly designed seaside home combines the historic charm associated with Southport with the luxurious comforts and advanced construction of recent developments.
Upon entering, a grand gallery leads you past a plush library or screening room featuring a fireplace, extensive built-in furniture, and a private bar, flowing into an impressive great room adorned with tall French doors opening to one of several waterside terraces. The kitchen, recently updated, is a true highlight boasting fine stone finishes, top-of-the-line Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, and plenty of pantry space. The dining room showcases breathtaking water views, and the entire second floor is dedicated to a luxurious master suite that offers panoramic views from the office, a cozy sitting room with a fireplace, a bedroom with a balcony, a lavish bathroom, and spacious dressing areas. The home also includes multiple private guest suites. The above-grade garden level features a substantial wine cellar, a gym/recreation area with sweeping water views, and French doors leading to a terrace featuring a gunite spa. It is currently on the market for $7.9 million with Alexander Chingas of Coldwell Banker.
