Custom built home perched on a hill top with the feel of floating in the trees. This home is on the market for the first time. Local architect, Davis Austin, designed a sleek and streamlined house that steps down from the crest of a hill in several sections of living space. The design is organized around a circulation ‘spine’ beginning at the entrance and descending to the indoor pool level that is set beneath the living room. Open the large sliding doors next to the pool to have more room for entertaining. The grand living room includes a fireplace and a wall of windows commanding valley views. The master bedroom is on the main level with separate bathrooms and closets. This great estate is completely enclosed with deer fencing to protect the manicured landscaping. This 2.93 acres estate features a wonderful tennis court. Even with underground utilities this home is still equipped with a automatic standby generator. Just minutes to Weston’s town center and award winning schools. Also, this home is just a short drive to Westport trains and shopping. Don't let this house pass you by as there is so much to offer at such a great price.
