It is located in the picturesque town of Weston, Connecticut - known for its top-ranked schools, old-fashion values yet sophisticated lifestyle. Stone patios . covered porches . terraces . perennial gardens . level play areas . mature trees: this property is a "sanctuary" in today's modern world. It's within quick and easy commuting distance to New York City (via Metro-North train, I-95 or three minutes from the Merritt Parkway). The property itself is an amazing "Antique Riverfront Retreat". Set on the widest part of the Saugatuck River, you can canoe, kayak, fish and swim off the home's private dock. It's nearby Westport's unique shops, restaurants , art galleries, organic stores (like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's), and seasonal farmer's markets. About half of the house is actually a reclaimed barn from Pennsylvania that was added to the main house as space for a new family area and commercial kitchen. It overlooks the river and almost two acres of land. You'll also find a Pantry, and Butler's Pantry; a Scullery where you can prepare your meal; a comfortable Dining Room, as well as an Office, and of course, a Den. The other half of the main house was once a "Workers Cottage" for the famous Bradley Edge Tool Company and Mill (see reprinted article below). The original 1830's home has been carefully preserved and restored, including the antique hardwood flooring. But, it has also been updated with luxurious baths and modern amenities, including an alarm system, central air conditioning, both a deer fence and invisible fence. And, the full basement - unusual in an Antique - has been configured to accommodate a bathroom and Wine Cellar. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms with ample closet space-another rarity in an Antique. The Master Bedroom features a swank Spa Bath with a frameless glass shower and a claw foot tub set under a cupola skylight.. Imagine yourself in a relaxing bath graced by a bay of windows with calming river views. Equally enjoyable is the view from the covered back porch. Just imagine yourself on a lazy afternoon . with an autobiography. OR gazing at leisurely ducks and heron . paddling along the River. There is also a separate, detached Timber Frame BARN. It's a perfect space for a home business, party room, gym or more. It has separate electric, phone, cable, heat and air conditioning; even a septic system in place. With garage bays and tons of storage, the modern barn is constructed with authentic traditional post and beam construction, hand-hewn with "Mortise and Tenon" joinery . and Pine floors, beams and woodstove.
