Friends & family gather - waterfront contemporary home "The Salty Rabbit” | House in East Lyme
3 Bedroom House in Niantic, East Lyme
Welcome to The Salty Rabbit - a spectacular contemporary home inspired by global travel and seaside living. Nestled between a salt pond teeming with birds, ducks and crabs and gorgeous Niantic Bay. The home is surrounded by rose bushes and sea grasses that shelter wild rabbits and white tailed deer. Relax with water views from every room and one house away from the private beach association, to which you and your guests will have access. The private beach, only open to surrounding homes, is sandy, beautiful, and quiet. No crazy parties and beer coolers on the beach here, this is tranquility at its finest. Terrific swimming and sunbathing in season, and beautiful quiet walks and bike rides around the flat neighborhood all year round. Bring your kayak, sunfish or giant unicorn float as they can be put in at the launch next to the beach. The Salty Rabbit is an idyllic spot to connect for a weekend with friends or family, celebrate a momentous occasion, or to rent for a week, a month or a season. Multi-month/short term lease available. Escape your covid surroundings and work remotely from paradise!
Note that while the home is waterfront, we have large jetty boulders in front so a 45 second walk to the beach is required for sandy beach access. Another small private beach is on the other side of the house and is a separate beach association. We are able to walk there and pick shells, but it is not technically ‘our beach,’ though association members have access to it from paths on the side and in front of our property. The outdoor shower is secluded, and wonderful for a post beach cleanse.
Home Description:
1 huge primary suite, The Aviation Room, with king sized bed and cable tv on the smart Samsung 8. Wake up to the sunrise from the bay window and watch the seagulls play each morning from the glass French doors that open to the balcony. Out on the balcony, sip coffee on the 2 reclining lounge chairs. Primary suite has a walk-in closet, laundry room and large bath. Primary bath has a glorious spa tub for 2 and spacious shower with four shower heads. Enjoy the towel warmer on the wall.
2 additional bedrooms are up a very short stack of stairs on the other side of the house. The Seagull Room has two twin beds and a small vanity. Relax with pond view from the back window and small ocean view from the side window.
The Whale Room bedroom upstairs has 1 queen sized bed, a writing desk and a rocking chair. You have beautiful pond views from the window in this room.
Both bedrooms have full length mirrors and wall mirrors for getting ready and doing hair and make-up. The upstairs rooms share a bathroom with tub/shower and lots of beautiful Turkish terrycloth towels.
Lounging and entertaining space include a library room with books and games. A huge living/dining space with a dining table for 8 and 2 love seats near a gas fireplace. These are open to the kitchen for easy entertaining. The kitchen, which we dream of updating, has older but working appliances, including two wall ovens, an electric stove, a microwave, a drip coffee pot, a chemex, an electric tea kettle, a french press, a single serving old school stove-top espresso maker, and a dishwasher. Lots of terrific counter space for baking, food prep, and serving. A good spice cabinet, coffee, tea, and sweeteners are always there for you to use. We have dishes, glasses, and barware for 8. Large windows with ocean views are all around.
Off the living room is the TV room with a large sectional couch and 70” smart tv with streaming cable. Good wifi throughout the house allows for you to login to or mirror your favorite streaming accounts or watch the Samsung TV and basic cable and sports channels.
Outside is a large entertaining deck with sitting and dining furniture during warm months.
