Modern
It may seem unusual for a home to be both expansive and cozy at the same time, yet that dichotomy harmoniously exists in the captivating six- bedroom colonial at 9 Pleasant Valley Lane in Westport. Spanning 7,056 finely appointed square feet among four levels, a feeling of warmth and openness pervades the atmosphere.
“The overall coziness of this home is our favorite feature and all who come here marvel at how it is so spacious without feeling overwhelmingly large,” said the owner. “The details and millwork are amazing and create an instant feeling of home. Inside and out, we marvel at the craftsmanship daily.”
It was the overall look and feel that captured the owner’s attention when they purchased the home.
“As an interior stylist, I felt it had so many great architectural features and did not feel empty like so many of the homes we toured,” the owner added. “I loved the ability for this home to be traditional New England in feel, and transitional- modern without losing its character.”
“This property offers the trifecta that so many buyers are looking to capture,” stated marketing agent Julie Vanderblue. “An amazing location on a quiet street, unsurpassed quality with a perfect floor plan, and truly spectacular mature grounds.”
Built in 2007 this home is stunning, with timeless, yet modern features and architectural detail. Handsome raised paneling and wide plank and character grade white oak hardwood floors accent the foyer and span throughout. The layout offers an ease of living and entertaining.
The living room features a coffered ceiling and gas fireplace providing a beautiful focal point. French doors lead to a formal dining room with designer chandelier and raised paneling. A first- floor office/ library is richly appointed with built- ins, French doors for privacy and coffered ceiling.
The chef's kitchen boasts a black walnut island, crisp white cabinetry, granite counters and a designer backsplash. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the sun- drenched family room with stone fireplace and French doors to the patio.
Six bedrooms offer ample space for family and guests. On the upper level, the luxurious master suite with tray ceiling, chandelier, an oversized walk- in closet with built- ins and spa- like master bath. There are three more generously proportioned bedrooms and two more baths. A spacious second family room with built- ins completes the second level and is perfect as a movie room or teen hangout.
The third floor offers many options with two separate living spaces, a full bath and unfinished areas for storage or future expansion. This versatile space is ideal for au- pair, guests, adult children or private office.
The finished lower level offers even more recreational and leisure opportunities and can serve as a recreation room, media area with fireplace, a gym or a bedroom with full bath.
Equally as impressive as the home is the majestic one- acre setting. The breathtaking grounds are brimming with year- round color and graced with flowering trees, stone walls and pathways, an enchanting gazebo, grand patio and a generous organic garden area. With plenty of room for a pool, or even a tennis court, the back yard is ideal for entertaining and enjoys privacy, space and beauty.
Finally, the location is the crowning glory, close to town, the middle and high school and minutes to the Merritt, I- 95 and Greens Farms train station.
“You can’t beat living in the heart of everything,” the owner said. “Our greatest pleasure has been the amazing walk to Wakeman town farm area and athletic fields with our dog twice a day. Imagine a quick walk or a oneminute drive to watch your kid’s sports games!”
