The principal suite includes a gracious private foyer, spa-inspired bath, walk-in closets, and a secluded deck overlooking the pond. The second suite features its own full bath and beautiful stone fireplace, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or anyone seeking the convenience of a main-level bedroom.

a home gym, and a comfortable lounge that opens directly to the patio and hot tub.

ARUNDEL, a spectacular example of flawless English architecture detailing and an exquisite setting welcomes you to one of the finest estates in Fairfield County. Designed by playwright Joseph Hayes, whose penchant for medieval theatre inspired him to create this idyllic setting. The iron-studded front door, three inches thick, with iron latches and bolts came from an Austrian castle.

Settled on almost 6 acres of manicured landscaping with two tranquil ponds as well as a guest cottage with kitchenette and full bath. It's the perfect blend of yesterday and today...
