Riverside, Conn., with Water Views, Estate of the Day

This home on 1.94 acres right on Long Island Sound offers more than a room with a view -- how about a whole house with a view? Located in Riverside, Conn. (part of tony Greenwich, where Kathie Lee Gifford and hubby Frank live) and built in 1956, this estate is offered for $12,900,000.

Sited in the gated Harbor Point Association, a peninsula of more than 500 feet of shoreline, this Contemporary Colonial offers the next owner the chance to build under current zoning for a new 11,000-plus square foot custom waterfront estate or live in the existing home, which is light-filled and recently updated with a cook's kitchen, built-in bookshelves, five tiled baths, new systems and new landscaping by a professional designer. There are two family rooms and two master suites among six bedrooms on both first and second floors. Three fireplaces and an artist's studio complete the picture.

Walk or jog to Elias Point, a sandy beach. A spectacularly landscaped enclave, historic Harbor Point is situated on the sweeping grounds of the former 49-acre Frederick T. Bonham estate, "Walhall," a legendary LI Sound private property with some of Southern Connecticut's best water views. The association's other amenities include a boat dock, boat mooring, picnicking and fishing privileges.

Filed under: Estates

Tucked into the lower seaside area of New Jersey, Stone Harbor is a resort enclave that doesn't get a lot of press but is home to many expensive homes. The small town has a small year-round population but like other resort communities it booms in the summer with tourists and part-time residents flocking to the beaches. This home on Tuxedo Point has over 220' of water frontage with wonderful views of the bay, wetlands and beautiful sunset. It has a large pool area and the boat dock area will accommodate 4 or 5 of your watercraft. it has four bedrooms total and a beautiful light-filled kitchen. It's a little close to the other homes but at least you get the point with a nice wedge of waterfront and the second story open balcony gives you a perfect place to watch the sunset. It is listed at $10.5 million.
