The light gray contemporary colonial house at 8 Sandpiper Road sits on a level property of almost a quarter of an acre in the Saugatuck Shore neighborhood only steps from Long Island Sound. Its location is ideal for beach and nature lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and commuters. It's on the market for $3,500,000.
