114 Silver Spring Rd, Wilton, CT 06897

This exceptional home is located in a private community set past beautiful stone pillars and walls along the former racetrack of the renowned thoroughbred breeding & racing property of the Firestone family – an exquisite property surrounded by conservation land, numerous equestrian properties and miles of riding trails in the rolling hills of Wilton, CT along the Lewisboro, NY border. The home is located just south of Silver Spring Country Club, and minutes from the town centers of both Wilton and Ridgefield. You’ll enjoy a combination of privacy and neighborhood, in surroundings that feel worlds away from NYC, yet are commutable to Manhattan and a short drive to Stamford or Greenwich, CT. The views across the front lawn accented by a stately new flag pole, past a charming side patio and beyond an expansive rear deck and yard are of wooded conservation land. You can stay home and revel in the views, or you can enjoy a walk, run or bike ride around the former racetrack and past beautiful neighboring homes on its perimeter. . . or perhaps cross the road to the 151 acre, 30 horse Larkspur Farm with its boarding facilities and training programs. What a fabulous location! Within this home you’ll feel completely comfortable, welcoming friends and family into the two story entry foyer, drenched in sunlight from a large second story window above. Guests will be drawn into the living room, where French doors lead to a slate patio surrounded by stone walls and beautiful vistas. When mealtime arrives, you’ll beckon them into the dining room, and afterwards out to the deck that runs the entire length of the house – what better place for an after-dinner drink, perhaps a bottle of wine from your downstairs wine cellar, or just to relax and enjoy conversation? Casual times will find everyone gathered in the large kitchen, with its stunning cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and panoramic transom windows that overlook the deck and grounds beyond. People will love to pull a chair up to the breakfast bar, relax at the table in the casual dining area or wander outside, even on rainy days, to the covered part of the deck where grilling in any weather is a real option. Back inside, just sit back and enjoy the comforts of a beautiful family room just off the kitchen, with wonderful millwork surrounding the fireplace and mantle, and a wall of oversized windows and French doors leading outside. When you want to kick the activity up a level, head to the lower level where the fireplace provides a great backdrop for a game of pool, built-ins provide the perfect home for media entertainment equipment, and windows galore and French doors to a patio make for a nearly seamless flow out to the yard for play. There’s perfect space for an exercise room and work room as well, with the convenience of a half bath nearby. A master suite, large bedrooms and gracious office complete the picture, making this the ideal place to call home. See for yourself! Race, don’t walk, to 114 Silver Spring Road.
