Perched on a beautifully terraced 1.51-acre property in Wilton, the historic Louis Warncke House (circa 1909) offers a rare blend of architectural character, warmth, and modern livability. This distinctive residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout, including rich original wood paneling, coffered ceilings, hardwood floors, and striking millwork rarely found in homes today. The main living spaces are both elegant and inviting, anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace and surrounded by oversized windows that fill the home with natural light and scenic views of the surrounding landscape. A gracious dining room with bay windows creates the perfect setting for entertaining, while the thoughtfully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, a center island with gas cooktop, stone counters, and a charming breakfast nook framed by windows. The home offers four bedrooms plus multiple flexible living areas ideal for today's lifestyle, including a private reading room, dedicated office space, and expansive upper-level bonus rooms that can easily function as playroom, studio, or guest retreat. Several bedrooms feature beautiful original floors and large windows that overlook the peaceful wooded setting. Recent improvements include updated windows, roof, boiler, and mechanical systems, blending modern comfort with the home's historic integrity. Two full bathrooms feature tasteful updates, including a double vanity bath and glass-enclosed shower. Outside, the property is equally special, with mature trees, stone retaining walls, and multiple outdoor spaces including a patio and welcoming covered porch perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A detached two-car garage and generous driveway provide ample parking. Located just minutes from Wilton's town center, award-winning schools, and commuter routes, this exceptional home offers the rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive property rich in character, history, and timeless appeal.
