A gracious colonial from the outside but not a "cookie cutter" colonial on the inside! This amazing home is filled with wonderful surprises at every turn and on every level. Truly the ideal home for year-round entertaining with huge dramatic rooms--most with vaulted and tray ceilings and French doors. One of the stunning features to this spacious home is the circular sun porch with wet bar that steps out to the patio. A private separate entrance above the 4-car garage presents a huge, sunny artist studio with cathedral ceilings plus additional office. This is a perfect setup for just about any need from running a professional business, home office or creative studio for any art expression. The lower level offers additional living space with a recreation/play room, gym, office and full bath. The house is equipped with a high power generator allowing for most of the entire house to be uninterrupted by any temporary loss of power. This home is surrounded by other stately homes in a quiet neighborhood on the Westport/Norwalk line. Only minutes to shopping, train, beaches or restaurants in either town.
