Quintessential charm meets modern day style. Step inside to find timeless details of period trim, french doors, a stained glass window and well-crafted built-ins paired with shiplap paneling, designer lighting, and soaring 9-ft ceilings. Once welcomed through the foyer, french doors lead you to a spacious and light-filled living room with a cozy fireplace, reading nook, and access into the formal dining room- perfect for hosting large family gatherings. Just off the dining room is an updated kitchen featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and ceramic tile flooring. You'll find an expansive family room off of the kitchen, with vaulted ceilings, stone fireplace and access to the deck. A stylish yet sophisticated half bath and laundry area complete the main floor. The second floor features three bedrooms, all with ample closet space, and a full bathroom. While the interior is smart, spacious and comfortable, a fresh air oasis awaits you outdoors. This escape includes an in-ground pool, large patio and deck, gardens, and a hammock to relax in. This home is perfectly situated in a central yet private location within the desirable Stratfield neighborhood. It is also close to shopping, restaurants, parks and recreation including beaches and lake trails. This home also provides multiple convenient options for an easy commute to NYC, as it is only 3.8 miles from Metro North (Fairfield Metro), 3.3 miles from the Merritt Parkway and only 2.5 miles from I-95.
