Perched high above the Connecticut River on a private 3-acre lot, 20 Navy Lane is an architectural marvel, designed by a team from Centerbrook Architects that included the renowned American architect Charles W. Moore. The river stars as the primary focus of the home as almost every room in the house has a window facing the panoramic views spanning from Essex to Old Lyme. Easements on nearby properties are in place to protect the view. Enter the home into a dramatic light-filled foyer, and to the left step down to a spacious living room with a fireplace. To the right of the foyer is a dining room, kitchen, family room with another fireplace, and beyond that a large laundry room, bathroom and Scandinavian-style sauna. A large deck graces the river-side of the house and offers many pleasant seating opportunities to enjoy both morning coffee and evening cocktails. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with another deck, an en-suite bath featuring a soaking tub facing the view, and two more bedrooms and another full bathroom. The forty-panel seller-owned solar system on the roof keeps the cost of electricity modest, and the heating and cooling are propane fueled. A full-house on-demand generator keeps the home running in the event of power outages. The property also includes a two-car garage and basement with a sitting area and plenty of room for storage.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
