About This Home

As of March 2018

A magical and unique property that evokes the feeling of a French country farmhouse, with too many special features to mention. Designed by famed American illustrator, Edwin Georgi, with great flow and amazing spaces. Offers fabulous indoor and outdoor areas including decks, patios and an in-ground swimming pool housed in a stunning solarium. A private and romantic setting, ideal for entertaining with flair. Was recently the venue for fairytale weddings and is a popular Airbnb rental property. Located on a cul-de-sac bordering Cranbury Park, a dog-walker's dream. Looking for that special retreat from hectic city life? Just a one-hour Metro North ride from Grand Central and you can be away from it all and surrounded by nature. Easy access to South Norwalk (Sono) restaurants and night life as well as to Westport, Wilton and Weston. Don't miss the opportunity to visit this extraordinary home!
