Read the full listing description

Discover wonderful Easton Connecticut! Described by the NY Times as "the black pearl of Fairfield County", this bucolic town conjures up dreamy images of paintings by Constable with its farms and landscapes, antique homes, stone walls, winding roads & mature trees. Add to that the commutability to Stamford, New Haven, and NYC & it's a lifestyle choice that works well in our new era of balanced living. Sweetbrier Trail is part of a lovely neighborhood with wide flat roads for biking, hiking & walking & this home backs up to open space giving you even more opportunities to enjoy nature. Just down the road is the best apple picking around, not to mention the pies. Oh, the pies. :) But enough of that; check out this house! Drive home past your own spring fed pond to 6664 sf of finished living space with another 1114 sf of unfinished space. The 2nd floor bedrooms are each unique & each have their own bathroom - the primary with two large rooms & a deck, the 2nd bedroom with a deck & the 3rd with a super cool loft. The first floor has a 4th "bedroom" with ensuite bath, or, you might prefer to use it as a second first floor office. It's the WFH house with 6 rooms on the first floor - ie, two potential offices! The extra spacious rooms & soaring ceilings make the home feel huge - stretch out and enjoy! The partially finished lower level is MASSIVE and walks out to both the side yard and the oversized 3 car garage. Come discover your new home and start living your new life!
