LIFE's Magazine 1995 Dream Home design was adapted to take full advantage of the natural landscapes of Hilltop Drive, creating a wonderfully lit home with constant views of the sublime beauty of the Long Island Sound salt marshes. The striking exterior employs a steeply pitched roof to achieve an architectural elegance. French double doors provide an impressive entrance into a handsome foyer. The open, high-ceiling floor plan on the first level allows excellent flow and visibility from the large eat-in kitchen through both the dining and living rooms and beyond. A double-faced wood burning fireplace warms both areas. Makes the house ideal to host and entertain family and friends. The second-floor landing doubles as a light-filled sitting room and is open to the floor below. The landing flows into the large premier bedroom with ensuite bath and walk-in closets, as well two other bedrooms with shared bath. Enjoy the convenience of a second-floor laundry. The walk-out lower-level bonus area is exceptionally bright with natural lighting. A spacious porch overlooking the salt marsh offers magnificent views and plenty of sea life to observe.
