The Lewis S. Seymour Homestead (c. 1836) stayed in the family for over 100 years, and at least 3 generations. More recently it was occupied by members of the Olmstead family (think Olmstead Hill Road). ## Located on Bald Hill Road, one of Wilton’s most popular cul-de-sacs, this historically significant country farmhouse style Antique home retains many authentic features (like wide-plank floors, board doors with wrought iron latches, and a beehive oven). ## The property is accessed through an electronic, gated entrance, revealing a pastoral property surrounded by stone walls, a barn (with a loft/workshop), and a charming country home with the irreplaceable character of yesteryear. ## Distinct architectural features include a special two-story deck and balcony, and a covered porch extending the length of the house (overlooking a huge yard). ## Inside, the open floor plan includes two convenient staircases; a large family room and a kitchen-great-room layout; a master bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe room and a private balcony overlooking the property; a country kitchen with a breakfast bar with stools, Thermador double ovens, gas cooktop and Subzero refrigerator; and fabulous fireplaces from a bygone era. ## Less noticeable although equally notable are the whole house generator and dry basement. ## You should be the next caretaker of this magnificent, one-of-a-kind, unique Antique home, filled with almost two centuries of rich history and love and laughter.
