About This Home

As of November 2020

This quintessential Connecticut colonial exudes upscale taste inside and out. Classic layout with four bedrooms and generous casual and formal public rooms for entertaining. Very private, yet conveniently located close to town, train and schools. The manicured 2.22 acre property features sledding hill perfect for fun-filled winters, plus covered porches, large deck and bluestone terrace overlooking gardens and open woodland vistas. Gazebo, gardening shed and historically inspired trim and fencing add to the home's New England charm
