Our Take

61 Chestnut Hill Road is a 1780-built, three-bedroom antique home on one acre at the southern edge of Wilton near the Westport border. It has an entrance from Chestnut Hill Road and a second entry off Westport Road. Multiple fireplaces, higher ceilings than the era may suggest, and other architectural features shape the interior. A tiered garden with stacked stone walls leads to the walkout lower level and two outbuildings, including a shed and garage. The property offers a restoration project or the possibility of building anew.
