Our Take
226 Silvermine Road is a three-bedroom Cape Cod set back from the road on 1.49 acres. The kitchen and large breakfast room were expanded and updated some years ago, and the primary bath was also updated. A greenhouse and dormant gardens, formerly associated with a master gardener, remain on the property. The Cape Cod architecture has a nostalgic character, while the home presents an opportunity for additional care. The property is minutes from East School and the village of New Canaan.
