Property Description
Rare direct waterfront retreat on the Niantic River in Waterford's coveted Oswegatchie neighborhood. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the Niantic River to Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve and a private fixed dock with approximately 24" draft at low tide. Enjoy the rare privilege of fishing from your own dock while bald eagles drift over the protected landscape of Oswegatchie Hills. The residence features 1,325 sq ft above grade plus 684 sq ft of finished walk-out lower-level living space, creating flexibility for guests, entertaining, or extended stays. Significant recent upgrades and thoughtfully designed hardscaping enhance both comfort and outdoor enjoyment. A separate climate-controlled office in the boathouse with heat, A/C, electricity, and CAT6 ethernet adds a distinctive bonus for working from home or pursuing creative interests. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck and spectacular sunset views over the river. Proven short-term rental history adds appeal for investors or those seeking a part-time coastal getaway. Just minutes to downtown Niantic, beaches, the boardwalk, dining, shopping, Pfizer, Electric Boat, Sub Base, the US Coast Guard Academy, and New London train service, with convenient access to both Boston and New York. Rarely does a property combine direct boating access to Long Island Sound, protected natural views, and such close proximity to shoreline amenities and major employers. This property carries an added sense of place and history, having once been owned by Anne Commire, the accomplished playwright and editor whose work and life left a meaningful literary legacy. Adding to the home's unique provenance, a first edition 16-volume set of Anne Commire's "Women in World History: A Biographical Encyclopedia" will be conveyed to the buyer with the property. In addition to the fixed dock, there is a mooring that will convey.
