Set on 2.1 private acres directly along Hamburg Cove, WATERLOT offers an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a premier waterfront estate on one of New England's most cherished maritime retreats. Renowned among boating enthusiasts as one of the region's finest and most secure "hurricane holes," Hamburg Cove provides a beautiful backdrop to this home. The property boasts over 220 feet of direct water frontage and potential for dockage capable of accommodating vessels up to 80 feet - a true unicorn for the region, where private residential slips of this scale and depth are virtually non-existent. Built with exceptional craftsmanship, the home offers a timeless foundation for its next chapter. While impeccably maintained and completely functional to enjoy as-is, the interiors await your bespoke design vision, offering an ideal canvas to craft a world-class waterfront haven. The 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home centers around a dramatic open atrium bathed in natural light featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden rafters, light oak raised paneling, intricate staircase millwork, and a pink granite fireplace. A second-story mezzanine overlooks the main living area, creating an airy, layered architectural flow. The property offers tremendous potential for expansion, including a full lower level ready to be finished. Architectural renderings and permits are underway for a second detached garage capable of supporting a 1,200sf accessory dwelling unit, and 5 additional garage bays - ideal for a guest suite, captain's quarters, or studio space. Located only 2.5 hours to NYC or Boston, 87 Cove Rd offers a rare opportunity to experience the finest in waterfront living. Agent/Owner related. Come discover the Lyme lifestyle!
