With over 3000 sq ft of spacious living, there’s plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind.

The heart of this home is the well-equipped kitchen, a culinary enthusiast’s dream. Imagine preparing delicious meals on a Viking range with a griddle and two ovens, or utilizing the Gaggenau ovens and Wolf drawer microwave. Bosch dishwashers make clean-up a breeze, and the Miele Nespresso Capsule Coffee machine ensures your mornings start with a perfect cup of coffee.

Entertainment options abound in this luxurious retreat. Two Samsung 4K smart TVs with Apple TV and Sonos home theater surround systems provide endless viewing pleasure.

Each of the three bedrooms features super comfortable Sleep Number mattresses, allowing you to adjust the firmness to your liking for a restful night’s sleep. The master bedroom boasts a California King bed for ultimate comfort. With five luxurious bathrooms, equipped with modern amenities, everyone can enjoy their own space and privacy.

Step outside to discover the multiple outdoor living spaces, designed for relaxation and enjoyment. The deck provides the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco meal cooked on the Weber Genesis S-415 4 Burner liquid propane stainless steel grill. The comfortable patio furniture on the main patio invites you to lounge with a good book in the afternoon or gather around the fire pit under the stars. Or load up the beach cooler with refreshments and head down to the river patio to relax in the Adirondack chairs and watch the boats go by.

For those seeking adventure, the property offers a gas-powered golf cart for trips down to the river patio and dock, as well as three kayaks for exploring the waterways. Beach accessories, including beach chairs and a beach cooler, are provided for your convenience, ensuring a perfect day by the water.

Stay connected with high-speed gigabyte internet, and enjoy ample parking with room for one car in the upper lot, three cars in the garage, and an EV charging outlet.

When you're ready to explore, you’ll find yourself close to several beautiful beaches, including Harveys Beach, Sound View Beach, Rocky Neck State Park Beach, and Niantic Bay Beach.

Excellent Stay At Riverview.
I rented this house as a birthday weekend getaway for my wife and I. The pictures do not do the property or the property view justice. It is an absolutely stunning lake front property with amazing views, and ample outdoor space. I highly recommend staying here. Host was excellent and communicated with us for everything that we needed.

Great Location
The house was well in order. All the kitchen necessities were well above average. The view was better than we imagined. Perfectly located between Essex and Chester among other cute towns. The property manager was very helpful with everything. 😊
