About the Home
(Don't miss the spectacular waterfront video). On the water in the Tokeneke Association, Short Rocks Manor is poised at the very tip of Arrowhead Way, high above Scotts Cove and Long Island Sound. This breathtaking, updated 1925 English-style stone manor sits on 2.11 acres which includes .362 acres of designated OPEN SPACE. The 5,823 square feet of exquisite craftmanship houses five bedrooms - including a private-entrance apartment perfect for guests or family. Up the circular drive, you enter through a private stone rose-filled courtyard into the fabulous foyer with fireplace and step in the soaring two-story great room with floor to ceiling windows of glass that open directly onto your waterfront terrace, with the cove and Sound shimmering beyond. Every principal room has been oriented to capture the water. The primary bedroom suite window wall overlooks the ever-changing beauty of the sea. The kitchen leads to a private patio. Acres of landscaped gardens unfold across multiple levels, a private swimming pool is nestled within its own secluded garden sanctuary, and a whimsical Fairy Path winds upward to a hidden garden perched high above the cove creating a bird and wildlife sanctuary. The separate viewing terrace overlooks the water and your own private dock and is perfect for evening cocktails or simply watching the sun set over Long Island Sound. This home and property are rare. Make it your own.
