Set on more than two wooded acres, the home offers a combination that’s increasingly hard to find along the Connecticut shoreline: privacy, space, and a home that actually feels livable day to day.
The four-bedroom Colonial at 50 Kelseytown Road in Clinton delivers generous room sizes, flexible gathering spaces, and a backyard designed for summer living, all just minutes from beaches, shopping, and major routes.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s undeniable curb appeal makes a strong first impression. A wide, farmhouse-inspired front porch stretches across the façade, creating a welcoming scene that beckons you to stay awhile. William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty agent Sacha Armstrong-Crockett says it’s one of the property’s defining features. “The front porch is worthy of a Pinterest board,” she says. “It’s the kind of space where you immediately picture rocking chairs, seasonal décor, or just sitting outside with a cup of coffee.”
Inside, the home offers a traditional Colonial layout that feels open without sacrificing structure. The entry hall is flanked by a formal dining room on one side and a roomy living room on the other, both lined with windows that bring in natural light and views of the surrounding trees. These rooms provide flexible options for hosting larger gatherings or simply spreading out — a theme that continues throughout the house.
At the center of the main level is a kitchen that connects easily to both a sun-drenched breakfast nook with an oversized picture window and the main living room. The living room itself enjoys a fireplace and French doors that open directly to the backyard, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces during warmer months. According to Armstrong-Crockett, this layout is one of the home’s biggest strengths. “The expansiveness of the floor plan really stands out,” she says. “It works just as well for hosting friends on a Friday night as it does for a quiet Sunday at home. There’s an effortless flow from room to room.”
That sense of flexibility continues upstairs. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bath and walk-in closer, offering a comfortable retreat from the rest of the home. Three additional bedrooms on this level provide ample space for family, guests, or home offices, while an oversized bonus room adds even more versatility. Whether used as a playroom, family room or home gym, it’s the kind of extra square footage that allows the home to adapt over time.
Downstairs, a partially finished basement adds another layer of usable space, with room for storage, hobbies, or future expansion. Like much of the home, it presents an opportunity to personalize and build value without needing to overhaul the fundamentals.
What truly sets 50 Kelseytown Road apart, however, is the land. The home sits on approximately 2.5 acres — a rarity in Clinton, where most recent single-family home sales fall on much smaller lots. Armstrong-Crockett notes that in the past year, only a handful of homes in town have sold with two to three acres. “That kind of acreage is unusual here, and it really changes how the property lives,” she says.

The backyard feels more like a private retreat than a typical residential yard. Surrounded by trees, it offers a high level of seclusion and features an in-ground pool with plenty of room for lounging, dining, and summer gatherings. A pool house adds convenience and storage, making it easy to host friends or spend long days outdoors without constantly heading back inside. “It feels like your own little getaway in the woods,” Armstrong-Crockett says. “Someone is going to be very lucky to host their summer get-togethers here.”
Despite its private setting, the home is well connected to the best of the Connecticut shoreline. Clinton is known for its relaxed coastal atmosphere, with marinas, beaches, and harbor-front dining all close by. Residents can spend the morning near the water, enjoy lunch in town, and still be home within minutes. Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets, located just a short drive away, add another layer of convenience for shopping and errands.
The location also works well for commuters and second-home buyers alike. With easy access to major routes, the property is roughly two hours from both New York City and Boston, making it a realistic option for those looking to escape the city without disappearing entirely. Armstrong-Crockett describes Clinton as a town that strikes a special balance. “You get that laid-back shoreline vibe, but everything you need is right there,” she says. “It’s easy, fun, and very livable.”
Built in 2000, the home offers a solid foundation with room for thoughtful updates over time. Its classic Colonial design, generous proportions, and expansive lot give buyers the opportunity to create something truly personal while benefiting from a setting that will always hold appeal.
