I have printed out pics of this house months ago and I am thrilled to see some new pics at (ever so slightly!) different angles. <br /><br />I share your obsession!<br /><br />WendyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267263376124727855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-5790824697058628232010-08-26T23:55:17.370-04:002010-08-26T23:55:17.370-04:00I've been in both houses on the property, whic...I've been in both houses on the property, which is much bigger than you would ever guess from the street. It was many years ago, but I vaguely remember that the gatehouse (the one you can see in your picture) had a lovely living space over the the porte cochere decorated with an equestrian theme and possibly dark green. I don't remember much about the main house, except that there's a hidden sun patio among the peaks of the roof, and the lawns are gorgeous and much bigger than you would think sweeping down to the water.<br /><br />The previous poster is correct that the property is owned by the main investor in the Ocean House restoration. I believe his daughter and son-in-law now occupy the gatehouse. (He owns several houses in the area; his next investment project is the renovation of the Weekapaug Inn two districts over. The renovated Ocean House is absolutely gorgeous and the retro cocktails and the verandah menu are to die for!)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328262907701577755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-31531760872135102192010-08-26T23:05:11.870-04:002010-08-26T23:05:11.870-04:00So beautiful!

Great topic, I am ...You've got me carried away. Great topic, I am a house stalker!! There was a house in San Marino I adored with a porte-cochere like that one. It was white brick with blue trim and a drive through p.c. Horns would honk, when I slowed for my object of affection--let them, was all I could say. I finally got to see the house in the movie "The Player." I think Daryl Hannah got my house in the end. She opens the door pregnant, so Tim What's his name, who is married to Susan Sarandon can have perfection for the rest of her life. When Mr. in-trouble-movie producer rolls down the driveway, after two hours of high drama--He's At My House!! I cried out in the darkness of the theatre: "She Has MY HOUSE.!" Memory lane of stalks, blogs within blogs within plays. I love it everyday!Dovecote Decorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957497471267805395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-88346098015424023872010-08-26T20:19:12.813-04:002010-08-26T20:19:12.813-04:00I was stalking a house for a while.

I ran right up soaking wet and rang the doorbell. Then, I got my wonderful tour!! Now that's serious stalking! However, now we are friends, so I may share her house with you one day. Its a gem, but your object of affection sends me--especially that beautiful porte-cochere!
