Picture-Perfect Curb Appeal on the Westport Norwalk line. Exceptional Value. Some streets just feel different and Christopher Lane is one of them. Lined with mature trees and beautifully landscaped homes, it feels more like a movie set than a neighborhood. And 5 1/2 Christopher Lane is the standout. Nestled in the sought-after Christopher Estates, this beautiful colonial sits on a professionally landscaped half-acre w/ stone walls, flowering gardens and room for a pool. Inside, a soaring two-story foyer sets the tone, opening into a layout that's both elegant and intuitive. The kitchen and family room are filled with light and flow seamlessly to the bluestone patio-framed by twinkle lights and hydrangeas. Formal living and dining rooms offer classic charm, while a first-floor office or library, full bath, and mud room add everyday function. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat with its own sitting room, spa bath, and dual walk-in closets. Four add'l bedrooms, including a private ensuite, offer flexibility and comfort. And laundry upstairs adds ease and convenience to every day. The finished third floor provides a full bath, gym, and bonus room-perfect for guests or quiet focus. Beautifully maintained and move-in ready with smart home technology, this home offers privacy, scale, and the rare chance to live just over the Westport line-close to town, train, parks and more. It's the kind of home people wait for and the kind of street they rarely leave.
