About This Home
As of December 2024You are home! This Colonial farmhouse located near the heart of gorgeous Newtown is close to all the amenities of greater Fairfield County and beyond. The home is also proverbially and literally setback from the busyness of life. As you wind through the serpentine driveway, you pass a small paddock, complete with two horse stalls. The house sits at the top of a gentle slope overlooking the picturesque drive and the large 3 acre property comes with carved out hiking trails in the wooded back area, a children's playscape space, as well as the crown jewel, an expansive deck that runs the length of the home. Moving inside, the updated main-level boasts a spacious chef's kitchen. With miles of countertops, eat-in dining, and butler's pantry (with added stove, fridge, sink, and laundry room just beyond) this home is perfect for entertaining or family living. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a large living area accented by a stacked-stone fireplace. Upstairs are 4 spacious bedrooms & and office, with one of these being a garage-length space. The master boasts a walk-in closet, and a remodeled bathroom accented by the freestanding tub. The attic has nooks and spaces that lend themselves perfectly for crafting, school, work...etc. The lower level provides space for at-home gym, game room, etc, & ample storage. Other features include new roof, repainted interior and exterior, pristine two-car garage, and endless opportunities. Call 55 Walnut Tree hill home today!
