Drive through this upscale neighborhood of estates past famous sculptress Anna Hyatt Huntington's former home and tour this gem. A long ancient stone wall and tall mature shade trees greet you framing a manicured landscaped lawn. Sip lemonade or mint juleps on your wrap-around front porch while listening to birds sing or watching horses frolic across the way. Step inside to inviting spacious well lit rooms with 9-foot ceilings where family celebrations happen. Meal prep is a snap in the granite/stainless kitchen with a brand new Bosch wall oven, Thermodor 6 burner gas range plus center island counter seating. Why travel to the office when you have an enormous 2 room finished space over the garage with private entry? The second level hosts the primary suite grounded by hardwood & flanked by a dressing room closet & full whirlpool bath. 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. Walk to Huntington State Park offering miles of hiking trails. Prior owners put over $100,000 in renovations. Highest and best offers by Tuesday, May 6th at 5 pm.
