I was looking at some pictures today of Katharine Hepburn's home in Fenwick,
Connecticut. It is on the market for a mere 14.8 million dollars. I'm guessing
there won't be many lookers at that price. But from the pictures, the person with
a checkbook that big who buys it, they will have a beautiful, serene home.
An interesting history before we enjoy pictures: her parents built it when she was
5 years old for $2400. Quite a return for the initial investment, I'd say. In 1938,
a hurricane that had not been predicted or warned about swept the family's home
into the river. She was able to salvage a silver service set and 38 pieces of the
family's silver.
I hope you enjoy these pictures. The house is beautiful and is the perfect
combination of farmhouse and beach. With a little colonial, too.
The perfect way to say "Welcome" to your guests!
I love the simplicity of the dining room. And what a view to eat by.
There just are not any words for this kitchen. It speaks for itself. I do love that farmhouse sink, though.
I'm guessing the drawer pulls are original from 1938. What do you think?
The master bedroom. Blue striped chairs--love love love! And a window seat!
I would never want to leave this room.
Again, no words.
This is a sitting room right off one of the other bedrooms.
This is the third floor--because everyone needs a third floor, right?
As a mom of many, this would be the perfect place to watch my kids run and play when they
were little. And run and play with them :).
More beauty!
When the current owner redesigned and redecorated the house, they left the original fireplace
and hearth in place. A good decision, I think.
I hope you enjoyed these pictures. Have a great weekend. Our first official one of summer!
