Tucked into the hillside and surrounded by nature, this contemporary Rowayton home offers far more space than meets the eye. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, creating a treehouse-like feeling. This home enjoys a rare sense of calm and functionality, with an oversized masonry fireplace anchoring the living space. Rooms flow effortlessly, inviting both quiet mornings and friendly gatherings. Despite its serene, tucked-away setting, you're surprisingly close to the water and town via a nearby footpath that connects the neighborhood to the waterside walking loop and offering the best of both worlds: peaceful retreat and everyday walkability. A home that feels connected - to nature, to light, and to life in Rowayton.
