About This Home
As of August 2021Set on over 5 peaceful and private acres is a piece of Wilton history known as "Rustic Acres". This stone and shingle country home is truly special. Among its charming features is handsome woodwork on the vaulted ceilings and walls in the kitchen, den and living room, a cook's kitchen with chef worthy stainless steel appliances including an integrated wok, a lovely sunroom, architectural windows, window seats, spiral staircase and gorgeous stone fireplaces. The master bedroom suite offers his and her bathrooms, fireplace, walkout to deck and a dressing room/office. There are 3 addiitional bedrooms and 4 more baths throughout. It's a perfect floor plan for everyday living as well as entertaining weekend and long term stay guests. Enjoy the outdoors on the deck overlooking the quiet backyard. As for a piece of Wilton history - the home was once owned by a family member of the Gimbel brothers, owners of the famous department store featured in "Miracle on 34th Street." It originally served as a country house, screened around the entire perimeter. During Prohibition, the house was converted into Wilton's speakeasy. If only the walls could talk! Come see for yourself - it's not a home that comes available very often.
