Check In
       
       

Discover the perfect seaside escape in this expansive 6,800 square foot family home, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural designs. Nestled just two blocks from Eastern Point Beach in Groton, this private haven boasts eight distinct sleeping areas, six bathrooms, and elegant living spaces. Previously a lavish retreat for a wealthy family, this home now invites you to indulge in its luxury.

This grand, recently furnished home offers spaces for everyone to gather, as well as quiet nooks for intimate conversations. The "Grand Game Room" features a pool table, big-screen TV, board game table, and a separate video gaming area. On the front side of the house, a spacious living room, separate TV room, and large semi-formal dining room await. Enjoy a gentle breeze on the roomy screened porch, overlooking Ledge Lighthouse, situated just off the dining room and next to the outdoor barbeque.

The fully-equipped kitchen is complemented by a walk-in pantry and an additional dining area for 8-10 guests. All bedrooms are located on the second floor, furnished with comfy mattresses and blackout blinds for your comfort. Three king bedrooms are situated near the grand center staircase, each featuring an Avocado brand mattress. A separate apartment above the Grand Game Room houses a queen bed, a twin bedroom, a kitchenette, a full bathroom, and a separate dining/TV area – perfect for a family of four.

The home's unique "tower room" offers stunning 360-degree views and is the perfect spot to read, converse, work, or play. The vast backyard lawn is ideal for outdoor games such as croquet, frisbee golf, bocce ball, or soccer. Rainy days won't stop the fun, as the large covered porch is perfect for a game of corn hole.

This exquisite residence is well-suited for family gatherings, friends' reunions, book clubs, golf outings, business retreats, and more.

Fresh linens, bath towels, and personal soaps (including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and more) are provided. The kitchen is fully stocked with towels, utensils, place settings, coffee makers, toaster, microwave, oven, cooktop, and much more! Laundry facilities are available for your use.
