Why they chose this property

We were looking for a waterfront home in Connecticut and had not considered the river. We knew the moment we saw the listing that we wanted the house. We've had a larger home, but nothing with as much charm as Tuckaway. We have had people come for tea and stay for 4 days, it's just a magical setting.
