This exceptional property offers a unique blend of elegance and natural beauty, framed by a distinguished black fence with two gated entrances leading to a circular driveway. Upon entering the home, the elevated cathedral ceiling in the living room creates a stunning and dramatic entrance. The kitchen features a well-designed layout with an oversized island that encourages family gatherings and inspires culinary creativity. The spacious family room, complete with a brick fireplace, provides an ideal setting for relaxation and fun-filled evenings. The bright and airy sunroom, encased by three walls of glass, serves as a serene retreat and the perfect spot to enjoy the changing seasons. Step outside and you'll find that every corner of the property reflects the loving care of a passionate gardener. Trellises entwined with climbing plants, meandering walkways, and distinctive rock sculptures enhance the landscape, creating a picturesque environment that is both enchanting and inviting. For gardening enthusiasts, a heated greenhouse stands as a delightful addition, providing the perfect space to extend the growing season. Located just minutes away from Westport and Wilton town centers, award-winning schools, train and major highways.
