The U.S. Gov't. property disposal is taking bids on the Penfield Reef Lighthouse on Long Island Sound in Fairfield, Connecticut.
Gee, that's a small island of rocks it's on. Recently restored and weatherized, the property contains a 51 foot tall octagonal light house and a two-story 1568 square feet, keepers quarters. (Wish they showed the interior.)
The lighthouse was built in the Second Empire Style established in 1874. The property's exterior was restored to reflect its 19th century appearance in 2015.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

If you're weren't able to attend CT Local Artist Night on Thursday, we will continue to have over 40 of Tidepieces by Alan Winick Tide Clocks on display in our Showroom through Sunday. Tidepieces Tide Clocks have dual faces - bottom of clock provides the traditional tide clock showing current tide. Dial provides hours to high tide and to low tide. Top of clock is what makes this time piece truly unique. A mechanically animated display showing a tide that rises and falls in concert with the actual tide. Each style has an image incorporating the tide - either whimsical or lighthouse seascapes. See them all at The Showroom at Mellow Monkey 360 Sniffens Lane • Stratford, Connecticut On display: Friday - Saturday 10am-6pm Sun 12-4pm Directions: tinyurl.com/storedirections #tideclock #nautical #nauticaldecor #boatdecor #sailing #boater #giftforboater #beachhouse #beachdecor #coastal #coastaldecor #stratford #stratfordct #milfordct #fairfield #blackrock #bridgeport #bridgeportct #fairfieldcounty @tidepieces @mellowmonkeydecor (at The Showroom at Mellow Monkey)

Usually, I don't like new builds, but this one is pretty cool. It was built in 2005 in lovely Fairfield, Connecticut. 4bds, 3ba, 2.5ba, $1.798M.
Take note of the architectural details- they're amazing for a new build. Take the ceiling in the entrance hall, for example- very unusual.
It's an open concept with a living room/kitchen combo. Love the blue island and stone fireplace with built-ins.
My favorite style cabinets with legs. These are gorgeous.
The glass block backsplash is unique, too.
Off to the side is a round tower room for dining.
Has a cute little pantry, too.
Here's a lovely room for an office.
First floor powder room.
Here's what I'm talkin' about. Don't remodel an old home to look new, just buy a new one that looks like it was old and remodeled.
The primary bedroom has a wall with closets and a fireplace, plus vaulted ceilings and doors to a private terrace.
The rounded en-suite is in the tower and has a vintage reproduction tube and sink.
Beautiful secondary bedroom has a sunporch and this fantastic rounded area with a built-in desk or vanity table, plus a built-in dresser like older homes have.
Plus, it has a large closet and that beadboard feature wall.
3rd bedroom also has a nice closet and look at the inset. Each room has a special architectural feature.
Nice en-suite shower.
2 garages behind the house, plus a large deck.
There's also an outdoor shower and a medieval castle-like door.
In the rear of the yard, the gravel parking area turns into a beautiful patio and lawn.
The home is just across the road from Penfield Reef and Lighthouse Point.
