About the Home

A gracious tree-lined drive leads to this stunning 2004 transformation of a classic 40's colonial on 4.32 level, sun-washed acres with pool, pool house & gardens. Character is evident throughout the newly reimagined interior while maintaining all of the integrity of the original residence. 10' ceilings & light-filled rooms create an easy flow for entertaining for large or intimate gatherings. A chef's kitchen is equipped with a 2-tier, 9 1/2' center island, custom cabinetry & top appliances. A luxurious master suite provides sitting area with fireplace, 2 dressing rooms and separate baths. 4 additional bedroom suites on the second floor have architectural detail, walk-in closets and marble counters. The finished third floor has room for overflow guests, activities and crafts, plus lots of storage. The finished lower level houses a wine cellar, tasting room, gym and media/play room. Lifestyle amenities continue outside with a glamorous old world pool house with kitchenette, bath and changing room. A peaceful, private garden surrounds pool and a stone garden house draped with perennial trumpet vine provides a striking backdrop for boxwood, peonies and Russian sage. A newly erected barn has electricity and can accommodate up to 6 cars. 155 acres of walking trails surround the property via the Larsen Preserve, adjacent to the back yard with additional land available, ready to create the perfect family compound. Only minutes from vibrant downtown Fairfield and all transportation!
