Welcome to 91 Sunset Hill Road--a rare opportunity to own a sophisticated Nantucket-style home set on more than two acres of park-like grounds in an exceptional location. The approach to the home is beautifully framed by flowering cherry trees, creating a picturesque entrance that opens to an expansive backyard bordering the New Canaan Nature Center preserve, offering privacy and tranquil surroundings. Thoughtfully designed, the home's architectural details convey a sense of quiet luxury throughout. This six-bedroom, 8,020-square-foot residence features arched doorways, 10 foot ceilings, exquisite craftsmanship and custom millwork, oversized windows, and hand-selected stone fireplaces. The home strikes a perfect balance between warmth and elegance, with inviting spaces enhanced by refined sophistication. Four finished floors offer abundant light-filled living areas, including a gracious living room and dining room, as well as a mahogany-paneled library with a coffered ceiling. The gourmet eat-in kitchen, along with the adjacent family room, opens through French doors to a bluestone terrace with an outdoor fireplace--seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. One of the home's highlights is a serene primary suite featuring a fireplace, sitting room, and dressing room. The third floor offers a great room or ideal home office/workspace with a half bath. The lower level welcomes you with an impressive 1,800-bottle wine room, rec/playroom, gym, craft or sewing room, and an additional bedroom with a full bath. Just minutes from town, GreenLink trail, and Irwin Park, this remarkable property offers understated elegance, natural beauty, privacy, and convenience.
