It’s not cheap as chips but it is very a-peeling. This 1.1-acre home on Potato Island – one of Connecticut’s Thimble Islands – has hit the market for $4.9million.
The 3,871-square foot, four-bedroom home atop the potato-shaped granite island was built in 1912 and ‘radiates New England charm,’ according to listing agent Christie’s.
Although the house is more than 100 years old, it has been extensively renovated to provide modern conveniences without sacrificing its historical character.
Inside, there’s a fieldstone fireplace, a dining nook with bay windows, gourmet kitchen, breakfast bar, Jacuzzi, four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, among other features.
