Property Description

An exceptional offering in the heart of North Cove, this storied estate presents a rare convergence of history, scale, and coastal prestige in Old Saybrook. Set on over an acre of beautifully sited grounds with direct water access and a private dock, the property offers a lifestyle that is both tranquil and connected, just moments from the Cove, local marinas, and the village center. The setting is quintessential shoreline New England: open, peaceful, and deeply tied to the surrounding water. The residence itself spans over 3,500 square feet, offering generous living spaces, multiple bedrooms, and a layout that reflects its centuries-old origins while accommodating modern living. Its scale and presence are immediately apparent, with architectural details and craftsmanship that speak to its early 18th-century roots and long-standing role in the community. Serving as the historic "Black Horse Tavern" in the early 18th century, the home carries a meaningful legacy within North Cove's maritime history. Today, it stands as a residence of enduring character, offering the opportunity to thoughtfully preserve and enhance a truly distinctive property within the parameters that protect its historic significance. Properties of this caliber, where setting, scale, waterfront access, and provenance align, rarely come to market. This is a chance to own a significant piece of Old Saybrook's shoreline heritage in one of its most sought-after locations.
