TIMELESS MASTERPIECE MEETS MODERN LUXURY. This two-building property combines historic elegance with modern refinement and direct water views of Milford Harbor. Built in 1915 by Simon Lake, famed inventor of the single-rudder submarine, the Georgian-style four-bedroom main house sits high along the west side of Rogers Avenue. A Nantucket-inspired second building to the rear connects the large property to Elder Street, providing bonus living and entertaining space plus oversized three-car garage. The main house's spacious and pristine front porch overlooking the harbor says it all. The antique front door, windows and hardwood floor blend seamlessly with new white railings and columns. It's classic and current, offering the best of both worlds. That feeling continues beyond the front door where original details in the entrance hall honor the home's heritage. To the left is a stately living room with original woodburning fireplace and brass sconces. To the right, French doors lead to a cozy den, perfect for morning coffee, intimate gatherings, or an afternoon with a book. Straight ahead is the heart of the home - a well-appointed kitchen and adjoining great room with woodburning fireplace and dining area with water views. This 1990 addition features 10-foot ceilings, white oak flooring, custom white cabinetry and expansive windows that frame views of a stunning patio.
