Idylls of the Homeowner

For most of us, when we imagine our dream house it comes complete with a white picket fence, a brooding room for him, a light-filled study/ exercise room for her, a soundproof playroom.

For most of us, when we imagine our dream house it comes complete with a white picket fence, a brooding room for him, a light-filled study/ exercise room for her, a soundproof playroom. For big dreamers, there is the house at 2 Sackett Landing, which has just come on the market.

The restored Colonial has charm, character, and views of both the Mill Pond and Long Island Sound. Not to mention a 2,000 square-foot, two-story guest house; a mahogany-lined dining room; windows of walls upstairs and down; an infinity pool; and covered terrace off the living room, from which you can enjoy the panoramic water views and waterfowl. The English and rose gardens are the pride of the owners.

The current owners are sad to leave Rye and their gracious estate, but grandchildren and California beckon.

Sula Pearlman and Nancy Neuman of Coldwell Banker are the listing agents for the $11,950,000 home.
