Description

Nestled in the verdant hills of Weston bordering Aspetuck Land Trust acreage, this 1940's charmer was reimagined by way of Provence, and the owners' extensive European travel. Oak hardwood flooring, romantic archways, vintage architectural details and custom French doors/windows transport you to the south of France. The home's highlight is a gorgeous country kitchen (Thermador, Bosch, SubZero, LG appliances) and a great room that boasts 9 ft ceilings, exposed beams and a Rumford fireplace.

Oak hardwood flooring, romantic archways, vintage architectural details and custom French doors/windows transport you to the south of France. The home's highlight is a gorgeous country kitchen (Thermador, Bosch, SubZero, LG appliances) and a great room that boasts 9 ft ceilings, exposed beams and a Rumford fireplace. The elegant living room with built-in bookcases, original fireplace, and reading alcove leads to an outdoor pea gravel terrace beneath a leafy, grape arbor. An unexpected Yves Klein Blue dining room, and a wonderful library/office tempt guests to wait for the bar to run out! Spacious primary suite has a fireplace, sitting area and sweeping views of the property. Three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms round out the second floor. Finished basement space with a full bath is above ground and currently being used for guests. And there is a wine cellar for those 58 degree needs! The privacy is captivating; a sun-drenched stone patio makes entertaining or peaceful reflection effortless. The fieldstone fireplace, outdoor kitchen with Viking gas grill, wood-fired pizza oven and refrigerator will encourage you to entertain friends and family. Boules you ask... the owners say Petanque, but the court is here along with a mature landscape, meandering stone walls and boxwood parterre gardens
