Welcome to Orchard Barn, where a sweeping circular driveway welcomes you to a one-of-a kind rural experience in central Wilton. Originally a barn this magnificent home was converted to an artist studio for sculptor Alexander Phimister Proctor, was the most significant animal sculptor of his day, who created the Princeton Tigers, among other works. Most major cities have a Proctor bronze animal or Western sculpture, including the Wilton libary. The studio later evolved into a country home in the early 1940's. Natural light spills into the main living room thanks to a broad and expansive 2 story window. There is a flexible floor plan allowing your imagination to create your own preferred use of space. Rustic wide plank floors are found in many of the rooms, and there is a woodburning fireplace in the great room & yet another fireplace in the formal dining room. Character oozes from stately beams which flow throughout the home providing the barn with its quintessential character. Off of the kitchen is a cozy breakfast room. There is a mudroom area with a walk in pantry, built in hutch & access to a patio. A short stroll from the dining room leads to a pergola over the patio which is perfect for entertaining while gazing upon a natural setting and a gunite pool. Plenty of convenience thanks to four full baths & one half bath, and additional modern comfort is assured via a generator & a two car detached garage.
