You'll Never Drink Alone in This Milford Beach House
Steps from the water in Milford, Connecticut's sought-after Woodmont beach community, this 4,438-square-foot custom colonial has been on the market since February — and once you get to the basement, you'll understand why it keeps generating conversation. Four beds, four baths, blue marble throughout, a hibachi cooktop, a Dyson hand dryer in the half bath wall, a wine cellar, and a hidden surprise downstairs that the listing says is best experienced in person. Reddit went in expecting a weird window. They found the mural room.
Mostly Normal, If You Skip the Basement
The main floors of this Spanish Colonial — a style admittedly a bit unusual for southern Connecticut — are genuinely impressive. A dramatic sweeping staircase, 10-foot soaring ceilings, a vaulted foyer, a chef's kitchen with an oversized refrigerator, striking blue marble countertops, and a hibachi-style cooktop designed for family gatherings. A walk-in pantry, a half bath with a waterfall design and a Dyson hand dryer embedded in the wall, and a dedicated outdoor entertainment area with outdoor shower round out the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a private balcony, and a spa-like en suite with blue marble seating and a rainfall shower. A rare three-car attached garage. No flood insurance required. Steps from the water. On paper, a very solid beach house.
And Then There's the Basement
The listing describes the fully finished basement as "truly the basement of your dreams" and promises a hidden surprise best experienced in person. Reddit arrived expecting a haunted rec room. They found the mural room — which, depending on your relationship with murals in basements, may or may not be preferable. One commenter noted that a few gallons of paint would handle most concerns, and that they might leave the mural depending on how it looks in real life. Another said they were hoping for something clearly haunted. The wine cellar, at least, is exactly what it sounds like. The title, "You'll Never Drink Alone," suggests the mural room provides company. At $1,298,000 in Woodmont, this one is making people talk — which is probably why it's still available.
