Renovated custom colonial is on 3.08 glorious acres
Privacy and tranquility abound in this custom colonial set on 3.08 glorious acres on a private cul- desac bordering 500 acres of protected land.
Enjoy the peaceful solitude of the countryside and the beauty of the natural surroundings from this exceptional property that was custom built in 1988 and renovated from top to bottom to afford the utmost in modern comfort and amenities.
Gracious living and entertaining can be enjoyed among finely appointed rooms filled with an abundance of natural light and beautiful stained- glass windows. There is ample room for family and guests with a newly completed guest suite with a new kitchen, bedroom, full bath and wood floors — ideal for in- law or au pair accommodations.
“This is truly an enchanting home with undeniable appeal,” says listing agent Jennifer Lockwood.
“This house checked every box for us,” says the owner. “It’s private, on a cul- de- sac so it’s safe for the kids, it has a big yard for gatherings, an inviting front porch and so much more,” he explains.
The homeowners were also attracted to the charm of the home being built toward true north and that every room is designed to allow natural light to brighten up the house no matter what time of day.
“And the sunshine pours through the stained- glass windows creates rainbows and light designs all across the walls at sunrise and sunset,” they added.
The beauty of the sunsets was another appealing factor to the homeowners, who desired the ability to feel close to nature but also preferred the proximity to Fairfield, Westport and South Norwalk, along with a reasonable commute to New York City.
The home offers many recent improvements including a newly painted exterior and interior, gorgeous renovated kitchen with new appliances and new crown moldings and recessed lighting throughout.
An inviting covered porch welcomes guests into the formal entry foyer, accented with crown mold-
ings, raised panel trim and hardwood floors that extend throughout. French doors open into the living room where stained glass adorns the window transoms and floor- toceiling built- in bookcases flank the brick fireplace. This space can also easily function as an office.
The bayed formal dining room with raised panel trim offers a lovely atmosphere for holiday gatherings. The newly renovated kitchen leaves nothing to be desired among soap stone counter tops, extensive cabinetry, custom island, new stainlesssteel appliances and a delightful breakfast room with stained glass transoms and views of the lush landscape.
The family room is highlighted by a floor- to- ceiling brick fireplace and French doors with stained glass that open to the deck overlooking the sprawling back yard, which is easily maintained with a robotic lawn mower.
On the upper level, the spacious master bedroom suite affords a private retreat with a walk- in closet and luxurious bath with striking stained- glass window and Jacuzzi tub surrounded by a wall of windows overlooking the treetops, capped with a sky- blue ceiling accent.
Three additional bedrooms are generously proportioned. Two share a Jack- and- Jill style bath and one has an en- suite bath. Also, on this level, with its own separate entrance, is a guest suite featuring new wood floors, a living area, kitchenette with granite countertops, breakfast bar and tile bath accented with wainscoting and stained- glass window.
There is ample storage in the full basement and extended three- car garage.
“This home is unique in design and character and has been renovated with the utmost care and quality,” says Lockwood. “It brings the term ‘ move- in ready’ to a whole new level!” Lockwood also points out that all major mechanicals have been updated including a new HVAC furnace, air conditioning units, gutters and water treatment system with dry well.
