About the Home
A very special Fairfield County Connecticut Gold Coast mansion at St. Mary's-by-the-Sea and Long Island Sound. Experience The Chimneys, an architectural gem designed by Charles Wellington Walker in 1928. This Georgian Revival home won America's Finest Home Award in 2015. The 54-foot Grand Hall features a sweeping staircase with hand-wrought iron balustrades. Eleven artful fireplaces add warmth throughout. The main floor includes a front-to-back living room with twin fireplaces, billiard room, library, formal dining room, office, and kitchen/family room. Two extra rooms could become an in-law suite with separate entrance. The second floor primary suite offers a full bathroom, dressing room with fireplace and terrace, and Juliette balcony overlooking Long Island Sound. Five more bedrooms are ensuite with fireplaces. In total: 11 bedrooms, 7 full baths, 3 partial baths. Adjacent to the 6-car garage is a townhouse-style carriage house. A columned porch leads to the in-ground pool and cabana. The property features a full-length stone patio overlooking fountain and perennial gardens. Land may be subdividable (.20 acre zoning).
