- By Bernadette Blaze

Driving along Fairfield’s Verna Hill Road in Greenfield Hill, picturesqu­e stone walls punctuate the landscape, while grand homes, stately in nature, line the scenic country lane. Sited on nearly three glorious acres of rolling lawns, mature trees, and thoughtful landscapin­g, this classic colonial is a fine representa­tion of quintessen­tial New England at its best.

Designed to take advantage of the magnificen­t vistas, each room in the home offers amazing views of the grounds. “The owners fell in love with the park- like property and scenic road of grand homes the house was located on,” said listing agent Paul Triantafel. “When they renovated the home, they made sure the design included expansive windows and French doors across all the rooms in the back of the home so they could enjoy the views of the sublime property and have access to the terrace.”

The result is a flowing, bright, and open floorplan that spans 5,749 square feet of finely appointed living space that takes full advantage of the gorgeous surroundin­gs. Warmly hued hardwood floors and handsome moldings create an inviting setting.

One of the owner’s favorites spots in the home is the country kitchen that features a sunny breakfast room with an inviting fireplace. The custom kitchen is a chef's delight, offering a spacious island for meal and baking prep and top- of- the- line appliances.
