Step into nearly three centuries of Connecticut history, beautifully reimagined for modern living. Privately set on 1.5 beautifully established acres, this exceptional circa-1752 former Helen Foster Snow homestead is a rare convergence of architectural authenticity, exceptional craftsmanship, modern comfort, and effortless shoreline living. Just minutes from Hammonasset Beach State Park (~5 miles) and The Surf Club (~4 miles), the property offers an extraordinary sense of privacy and tranquility while remaining close to the beauty and amenities of the Connecticut shoreline. Once home to renowned journalist, author, and humanitarian Helen Foster Snow, the residence possesses a sense of history that cannot be recreated. Wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, period details, and beautifully proportioned, light-filled rooms preserve the soul of the original home, while extensive improvements have made the property exceptionally comfortable for contemporary living. What makes this estate particularly remarkable is the depth and continuity of its stewardship. The current owner-the craftsman behind East Guilford Construction, a respected local builder known for historic restoration and traditional post-and-beam construction-undertook improvements with the same level of care one would expect when restoring a property intended to remain in the family for generations.
