An understated colonial-style home is the perfect setting for a Northeastern getaway. It's reminiscent of a family heirloom, with history seeping through the walls. Situated on a bluff with views of the Connecticut shoreline, the home sits atop sprawling private acres dotted with centuries-old trees. A typical day here will take you straight back to the carefree life of childhood – gather in the kitchen for pancakes before slipping on your sandals to walk down the lawns to your very own private beach, before spending the evening playing games around the fireplace in a cosy living room. Choose a new bedtime read from the home's library or brainstorm your own novel in the study – perfect for remote workers. Port Jefferson is only a short twelve-minute drive away, and you’d be remiss not to stop at the farmers market and bring back fresh produce to cook, reminding you of the pleasures of a simpler life.
