About This Home

As of August 2020

Secret Garden... This magical oasis has been so carefully curated that just one visit will capture your heart. An 1889 Craftsman Colonial, the current owners have taken this piece of Rowayton history and transformed it into a perfectly designed & sophisticated cottage escape- all right in the center of the village...hidden away behind high perimeter walls with unparalleled privacy. Not often does Rowayton offer an oversized, level lot out of the flood zone with such proximity to the shops, restaurants and water, but 12 Oakleigh Court is just that and more. Two dedicated home offices create the perfect environment for anyone needing to work from home. The master suite (and enviable closet!) spills out onto a westward facing balcony with treetop views overlooking the exquisite gardens, designed by renowned landscape architecture firm Kolkowitz Kusske. Gourmet kitchen outfitted with Wolf cooktop, Gaggenau oven, Miele dishwasher and quartz counters. Mechanical upgrades including geothermal hvac, radiant flooring and housewide generator give the owners peace of mind and ease of living. Every detail has been attended to in this very special home and property on this quiet cul de sac location!
