Three additional generous bedrooms offering architectural detailing complete the upstairs. Game night takes place in the garden level family room with lots of glass overlooking lush greenery. Sit at the granite bar & enjoy a glass of wine from your own wine cellar. Guests can stay in the 5th bedroom adjoined by an updated designer bath with frameless glass shower. Tons of storage plus a 3 car att garage. Award winning schools & a convenient commute to Lower Fairfield County. Just a short drive to the Bethel train station to NYC.
