An amazing contemporary home situated on one of the most beautiful properties in Newtown. Outdoors there are over 8 acres of rolling property which is professionally landscaped with stone walls, a beautiful pond for small boats and ice-skating and private woods - a "park-like" setting. This home is located in southern Newtown close to almost 30 acres of open space within the former Cherry Grove Farm - wonderful for hiking, exploring and horse back riding. It is also a great location to commute to lower Fairfield County or for those looking for a retreat from the city. You will not find a more pleasing unique home inside. Soaring vaulted ceilings, unique windows and sliders throughout, a huge indoor pool space turned into workout space, two fireplaces, 4 car garage for those who love cars - enough space for large gatherings but also some tucked away spaces for private thoughts. This home is truly one of a kind. A great escape for busy lives!
Basement freezer, garage refrigerator are not included. Audio includes wired speakers in various rooms. Fourth bedroom is currently being used as library.
