Top 15 Things we will miss about life at 29 Covlee

1. Location, location, location – it’s a magical sanctuary where you feel one with nature.

2. Watching the sun rise while in bed sipping a cup of coffee.

3. Entertaining here is so easy, warm and wonderful. The home just welcomes everyone. It’s the per-
fect place to celebrate family holidays, summer parties or just enjoying a drink with friends.

4. Having appetizers and a glass of wine at the end of the day … watching the water birds fish for
dinner, the sky turn multiple shades of orange, pink and red while the sun sets, and simply reflecting
on the beauty of the Long Island Sound and the expansive sky.

5. Sitting under the covered porch reading a good book and listening to the birds, frogs and crickets
while watching the oyster boats in the distance along with the paddle boarders, kayakers and sailors
all enjoying the summer fun

6. Hopping on our boat to cruise over to Cockenoe Island to go clamming with the kids and swim in
the warm summer water in the protected cove.

7. Enjoying the company of friends for a Fourth of July barbecue. Watching the fireworks from our
deck – both those from Compo Beach (Westport) and Norwalk (just over the Canfield Island bridge);
Taking the boat out and watching them from the Long Island Sound; You can sometimes catch a
glimpse of the Long Island fireworks in the distance!

8. Participating in neighborhood association block parties both at the beach and neighbors’ homes.

9. Enjoying long walks from the house over to Saugatuck Island along the water.

10. Easy commuting to New York City. Both the freeway and the Metro North train station are just a
few minutes away.

11. So many things to do in the area and so close to everything. Everything is a five minute drive
away including clubs; Shore and Country, Shorhaven and Saugatuck Rowing Club, SoNo Collection,
shopping, train stations (Westport and East Norwalk), restaurants, downtown areas (Westport, South
Norwalk), easy access to I-95 or the Merritt Parkway. Yet, you feel like you’re a million miles away
when you come through the doors.

12. Enjoying the serenity of the home as you feel like you are a part of nature the way the home is
situated giving you water views from most rooms.

13. Working in my home office looking out at the water was something for which I will always be
grateful especially during COVID stay at home periods.

14. Raising two children in this home and neighborhood was very special. It’s beautiful, safe, secure,
delightful in every way. There are many beautiful homes but not many that offer these views coupled
with a great neighborhood and a calming environment.

15. I grew up bird watching so I love watching the birds migrate and change with the season – winter
ducks like mergansers, bufflehead, and goldeneyes; seasonal kingfishers/goldfinch/cardinals/etc.;
and summer birds like egrets, herons, and ospreys. It’s a bird lover’s paradise!
