As of August 2023

Drive through this upscale neighborhood of estates past famous sculptress Anna Hyatt Huntington's former home and tour this gem. A long ancient stone wall and tall mature shade trees greet you framing a manicured landscaped lawn. Sip lemonade or mint juleps on your wrap-around front porch while listening to birds sing or watching horses frolic across the way. Step inside to inviting spacious well lit rooms with 9-foot ceilings where family celebrations happen. Meal prep is a snap in the granite/stainless kitchen with a brand new Bosch wall oven, Thermodor 6 burner gas range plus center island counter seating.

Tons of storage plus a 3 car att garage. Award winning schools & a convenient commute to Lower Fairfield County. Just a short drive to the Bethel train station to NYC.
