💡 Other things to note
✓ This is a true historic home, full of charm and character, which means you may notice older-home quirks that come with a property from the late 1700s.
✓ The home sits near a main road, so you may hear some traffic at times, though the yard and grounds feel private once you’re settled in.
✓ The beach is ~5 minute drive from the property.
✓ Some areas on the property are reserved for caretaking and maintenance use and aren’t accessible to guests.
Located in Saybrook Manor, a neighborhood in Old Saybrook, this vacation home is in a rural area and on a river. Essex Island Marina and Indian River Marina are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Hammonasset Beach State Park and Connecticut Valley Railroad State Park Trail. Saybrook Country Barn and Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center are also worth visiting.
