A little bit of history, and a whole lot of charm. HISTORY: The history behind 132 West Norwalk Road, which was originally built in 1905, is certainly quite interesting as well. This vintage home was once a barn for a local dairy farm, and was converted to a residence in the 1940's. The current owner brought the home up to today's aesthetic and luxury standards, while keeping some original details- including the outbuilding that was utilized as a Milk House. In fact, the original refrigerator in the Milk House is still intact, and there is a plaque right beside it. The focal point of the two story foyer is the custom welded and perfectly styled staircase that was built over 75 years ago by a local artisan, who just happened to be the prior owner. The Gourmet kitchen was just remodeled with custom "White Icing" NuKitchen cabinetry with Quartz countertops, and custom Farmhouse sink . The Chef's area is fully equipped with Stainless steel appliances including double ovens, a Viking six-burner cooktop, compactor, plus a 50 bottle capacity wine fridge. The integrated breakfast bar seats six comfortably, and Glass Doors lead to another private patio with built-in grill. OUTDOORS: Set back from the road , and almost entirely hidden from view through the plentiful arborvitaes, the professionally designed and lush landscaping on 1.5 acres is a pleasure to behold in any season and at any angle. Three separate terraces, and multiple outdoor spaces lend privacy to everyone, and all offer beautiful and scenic views of Five Mile River, which is right in your own backyard. The front courtyard is enveloped in privacy with mature plantings and a lovely lawn, which leads to the second terrace that features a heated in-ground pool and surrounding patio with custom built in grill/kitchenette area and chaise lounge. Notice the stone stairs- all of these large stones are native to the property, and were not brought in from any other source. A few technical extras worth noting- Nine and one-half foot ceiling height on the main level, remote controlled room darkening shades in Master Bedroom, pre-wired for home theater system in Great Room, wired for DirectTV, sprinkler system, Landscape lighting (controlled from main level office) **not a short sale, however subject to third party approval. call agent/receiver for details.
