139 Rogers Ave, Milford, CT 06460

TIMELESS MASTERPIECE MEETS MODERN LUXURY. This distinguished two-building property combines historic elegance with modern refinement and commanding views of Milford Harbor. Built in 1915 by Simon Lake, famed inventor of the single-rudder submarine, the Georgian-style main house sits high along the west side of Rogers Avenue. A Nantucket-inspired building with three-car garage behind the house connects the large property to Elder Street, providing bonus living and entertaining space. The spacious front porch overlooking the harbor says it all. The antique front door, windows and hardwood floor echo the home's storied past. Yet, new white railings and columns let you know this vintage beauty has been meticulously updated to meet modern standards. 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, the heart of the home - a well-appointed kitchen and adjoining great room with woodburning fireplace and dining area with water views -- invite you in. The open space with 10-foot ceilings is enhanced by white oak flooring, custom white cabinetry and expansive windows that frame views of a stunning patio.
