A rare opportunity to own one of downtown Guilford’s most iconic residences, often referred to as "The Spaceship," masterfully designed by architect Wilfred Armster. This striking copper-clad building, elevated on concrete stilts, was thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping, unobstructed views of Long Island Sound-beautifully showcased from this premier front-facing unit. Enter through the oversized two -car garage, offering additional ample space for a home gym, workshop, or endless storage. Inside, the home opens to a dramatic great room where walls of glass flood the space with natural light and frame stunning water views. The expansive room with a fireplace flows effortlessly into the dining room & open kitchen, featuring a large breakfast bar, abundant cabinetry, new appliances and generous prep space-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
