About this home
This impeccably designed country compound in the heart of the Stanwich Historic District is a treasure. The ambiance is captivating and is imbued with a high sense of style and chicness, blended with whimsy and fun. The architecturally significant 1848 home has been preserved with integrity and sits proudly on its west facing property surrounded by expansive lawns & manicured gardens. A generous front hall with 9'ceilings and wide plank floors, sets the tone upon entering. The gracious front-to-back living room, with fireplace and oversized windows, is filled with natural light with an adjoining library just beyond. A recent addition includes a sizeable family room just off the gourmet kitchen, creating a central gathering place and easy flow for indoor/outdoor entertaining. A fully equipped butler's pantry and wet bar complete the space. A luxurious primary suite with two full baths along with two bedrooms complete the second floor, each beautifully decorated. A fourth bedroom and bath with separate access is a comfortable retreat. The light filled converted barn with original exposed beams and cathedral ceilings features a guest suite, bedroom, kitchenette, LR with fireplace and a heated 3 car garage, full working gym and second laundry. The guest cottage also includes an office with a separate entrance, as well as a bonus hang out room. This is truly a four-season home. As wonderful as it is the fall and winter with its cozy fireplaces, it truly comes into its own in the summer with a stunning pool and hot tub, multiple terraces and beautiful gardens, creating an idyllic setting for outdoor living and entertaining.
