FEELS LIKE NEW CONSTRUCTION! No expense spared in the nurturing of this home on quiet, walking street. A spectacular array of fine details inside and out. Chosen as a destination in the 2016 FCA House Tour, and included as a special feature in The Wilton Magazine, this impressive home near town was expertly remodeled with open concept living in mind. Two story entry way with beautiful light and wide staircase opens to the family/living room with floor to ceiling fireplace and french doors and views to the spectacular backyard. The wonderful new kitchen with quartzite countertops, high end appliances and large center island with seating for six is the centerpiece in the home. Handsome large home office in high gloss lacquer paint with french doors to the deck and backyard, and a music/living room room as a more private escape or gathering place. A royal-sized master bedroom and remodeled bath and three additional bedrooms and two updated baths upstairs. A finished walkout lower level with half bath (easily converted to full bath) completes the picture, offering a casual hang-out space or home gym. Rarely found is this combination of gleaming sophistication plus function in an elegant home with a backyard that is a game-changer in warm weather, boasting a large pool and multi-tiered deck, PLUS adjacent meadow. A house that doesn't overwhelm, 172 Catalpa is a tightly knit package of elegance, that wows and welcomes at the same time.
