3.92 acres in Fairfield County, CT

This restored, 6,100sf, expanded 18th century farmhouse commands a view of its 1.24 acre, brook-fed lake, expansive lawn, raised beds and 400 ft. bleached stone driveway. Those features read: Big Tented Celebration, Fabulous Local Tomatoes. The former NYC chef's kitchen is open to the entertaining areas' 5 rooms that circle around the heartbeat that makes a home feel and taste just right. A separate walkway entrance to a home office, roaring fireplace possibility completes the 1st floor. The 2nd floor 600sf bonus room also has its own entrance, and yes, another full kitchen. Generous third-level space fronted by a wide-horizon-viewing balcony becomes the office/game room/exercise room/screening room you choose. A separate 1,100 sq ft, 1-2 BR cottage is a legally rentable Weston rarity. The owners have had to turn away many desirable tenants while accommodating just 4 long-termers in 28 years. The rental income and financial advantages of the cottage are considerable. The cottage as a studio, oversized gym, au pair base, or mother-in-law residence also makes sense. The owner has prepared a rendering of a pool and surrounding deck for which the approval process has been initiated and would be completed by the buyer wishing that design. The home's 500 sf flagstone terrace frontage that connects with the proposed pool/deck promises summer sell-outs. A 2025, 95% efficient, state-of-the art, natural gas condensing boiler and HW installation has proven to be a gas bill slayer.
