About the Home

Step into history in the heart of Southport Village, where this location doesn't get any better! On Pequot Ave, and just a short stroll to the beach, harbor, village shops, dining, library, and train to New York City, this beautifully restored 1853 Colonial was once home to Miss Augusta Smith's Seaside Seminary. The residence has been reimagined for today with warmth, elegance, and every modern comfort. Behind its gracious front porch and classic lines, over 4,300 sf unfold with light-filled rooms, hardwood floors, and three wood-burning fireplaces that invite gathering. The home offers six bedrooms, including two primary suites--one on the first floor and one upstairs--each a private retreat with spa-like baths. A country kitchen with its own fireplace, banquette dining, and French doors to the terrace becomes the heart of the home, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Outdoors, stone walls and sweeping lawns frame a terrace where privacy abounds, and that looks over the guest cottage, playhouse, and charming red barn. The 1,100 sf cottage, complete with living room, kitchen, and bedroom suite, is ideal for visitors or extended stays. This one-of-a-kind gem of a property blends history, charm, and convenience... an opportunity to live in one of Connecticut's most cherished seaside villages!
