In-town colonial with an award-winning pedigree
Not only does this immaculate colonial on Winslow Lane enjoy a convenient, in-town location, it is brimming with sophistication and quality craftsmanship throughout all four levels. The five-bedroom home was built in 2013 by the renowned SIR Development, one of the leading luxury home builders in Fairfield County for over 25 years. SIR is noted for being a multiple HOBI award winner, as well as having earned numerous Houzz Best of Design awards.
Quality and attention to detail is evident from the moment one steps inside the 4,837 square-foot home. Four beautifully finished levels of living space are highlighted by high ceilings, quality craftsmanship, a sought-after open floor plan and an easy to maintain outdoor space. The current owners purchased the home as new construction and customized it with countless upgrades to create an impeccable living space.
The flow of the floor plan is perfect for comfortable living as well as entertaining family and friends. Handsome wainscoting highlights the entry foyer which is flanked by a formal dining room and a formal living room. French doors from the living room open to an inviting family room graced with wide spans of windows allowing an abundance of light, a decorative beamed ceiling and fireplace. The family room opens to a gorgeous, chef's kitchen with Viking appliances, Vermont white granite countertops, marble tile backsplash, island, dining area and butler’s pantry with floor to ceiling pantry shelves and beverage cooler. Sliding glass doors provide easy access to the spacious bluestone patio where the owners love to enjoy a cup of coffee relaxing in the peaceful fenced backyard.
A convenient mudroom boasts custom features including horizontal beadboard wall paneling, bench seat, cubbies, hooks, and cabinets offering great storage for the perfect landing zone for jackets, backpacks or sporting equipment.
Five bedrooms, five fulland one-half baths, offer ample space for family members. The master suite enjoys a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets and a beautiful bath with marble flooring. There are three more bedrooms, two that share a Jack-and-Jill bath and a laundry room on this level.
The finished third floor boasts a bedroom and full bath with room for an office or a playroom, in addition to lots of storage.
The finished lower level offers flexible space that can be utilized for a potential sixth bedroom if needed for an in-law or au-pair suite, and also features a playroom, gym, home office and full bath.
One pleasant surprise the owners found was how convenient the location turned out to be.
“We only truly understood how wonderful and convenient it is to live so close to town once we moved here,” said the owners. “It feels we are in the country, when in reality, we are central to everything in town. We are a short walk to town, shops, Winslow Park, and just a few minutes to the beach and train. It is difficult to truly appreciate until you experience it.”
