Through a gated entrance framed by stone pillars awaits one of South Salem's most enchanting hidden treasures. Circa 1802, this extraordinary residence has been thoughtfully restored and impeccably maintained, blending authentic period character with the comforts of modern living. Set on a level, manicured acre, the grounds are magical, with lush lawns, specimen trees, mature hemlocks, hydrangeas, perennial gardens, a gentle stream with a charming bridge, stone patios, an arbor, white picket fencing, and exceptional privacy. Inside, the home evokes the warmth of a fine New England inn with wide-plank floors, exposed beams, granite stone fireplaces, and custom built-ins. The chef's kitchen with Viking range opens to the inviting family room with fireplace and sliding doors to the deck. A gracious office with bay window and full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, charming bedrooms, an additional full bath, and a luxurious primary suite with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, walk-in closet, spa bath with oversized steam shower, and adjacent laundry provide comfort and privacy. Complete with two-zone central air, whole-house generator, sprinkler system, detached garage, and Pella windows, this rare turnkey offering is just one minute to shopping and only ten minutes to the New Canaan train.
