Lawmaker's $4 Million Home On The Market In Groton

GROTON, CT — State Sen. Heather Somers (R-Groton) has listed her Groton home for sale for $3,950,000.

The historic home has five bedrooms and 4,270 square feet of living space, according to a Realtor.com listing.

"Captain Silas Beebe, shipmaster and ice merchant, created an enduring legacy in this timeless, 19th century gentleman's farm with 524' of frontage on Beebe Cove," the listing reads. "Extensive renovations ensure the grandeur remains for another two centuries."

Somers said they moved to the home about five years ago.

Asked about why the home is on the market, Somers said, “I am downsizing, and will be staying in the 18th Senate District.”

The home's waterfront grounds include an "impressive" barn, stone walls, mature gardens, specimen trees, and a heated pool. Inside, the home has an eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry, a formal living room with fireplaces, and a "stately" office. The home, which dates back to 1808, is on a 2.22-acre lot, which also includes a guest house.
