Another Property Sold - 26 Wisteria Drive, Trumbull, CT 06611
IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS! ABSOLUTELY IMPECCABLE on a wonderfully private and scenic lot in Nichols! It's just unfair to think of this home as being built in 1971, because it has been so beautifully remodeled inside and out. The living room has a soaring ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace. The sunlit eat-in designer kitchen with oversized skylight has soft close cabinetry, granite countertops and Samsung stainless steel appliances, plus a granite topped breakfast bar that you can sit at from either the kitchen or dining room. Main level office off either kitchen or dining room also has separate entrance. The master...

Another Property Sold - 68 Tuckahoe Road, Easton, CT 06612
As you approach this home on a premier level lot through its stone pillared entrance, it is evident that no details were overlooked in this sophisticated manor style colonial. The gracious two story foyer "sets the stage" for an elegant yet comfortable interior, and the home is further enhanced by maple perimeter inlaid flooring accents, crown molding, picture frame molding and wainscoting. The kitchen includes Thermador appliances, double ovens and a Subzero, and the breakfast nook leads out to the Mahogany deck that overlooks the private and lush backyard with landscape lighting, an in-ground pool and hot tub- and don't miss the built-in...

Another Property Sold - 83 Wheeler Park Avenue, Fairfield, CT 06825
Feels like home the moment you enter! Super charming and completely deceiving from the outside. Who would have thought this home had SO much space? Crown molding, wainscoting, nooks and crannies, great closet space, and updated so nicely with a country feel. The remodeled kitchen has granite tops with tumbled marble back-splash, two sinks, a center island with seating for three, and a wainscoted dining area that leads out to the side brick patio. The family room is open to the kitchen, and two nicely sized bedrooms on this floor are flexible enough to create a main level master or in-law , besides the master bedroom upstairs which has a...

MOTIVATED SELLER!!! Outstanding opportunity for the savvy buyer who can purchase this home that was built just last year!
