About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to 25/23 Taunton Lane, where timeless charm meets endless opportunity! Tucked away on a breathtaking 7.55-acre estate in one of Newtown's most coveted locations, this property has been lovingly enjoyed by generations, and now it's ready for you to write the next chapter. Let's talk about what makes this place truly special. First, the main house: a warm and welcoming 5-bedroom, 4-full-bath retreat that feels like home the moment you step inside. Whether you're gathered around the fireplace in winter or enjoying the sunshine from the patio in summer, this space was made for memory-making. Next up: the two-bedroom guest cottage, perfect for visiting family, weekend guests, or even as a private home office or artist's studio. And let's not forget the additional building lot at 23 Taunton Hill just waiting for your dream addition. Want to build a custom home? Yoga barn? Pool house? The potential is yours to shape. The grounds are nothing short of magnificent; think sprawling lawns, old-growth trees, and endless room to roam and play. Whether you're envisioning a mini compound, hobby farm, or private retreat, this property is the perfect canvas. And location - it doesn't get better. Moments from Exit 9, schools, and shopping, this is truly the best of both worlds: peaceful country living with everyday convenience just around the corner. Estate, compound, family legacy, whatever your vision, 25/23 Taunton Lane is ready to bring it to life. Come experience the magic!
