17 Dudley Rd, Wilton, CT 06897

A wonderful, spacious home providing the ultimate in convenience of location and versatility of use. Set on a lovely level acre beyond rustic stone walls and a circular drive, the residence welcomes you with a foyer graced by a cozy window seat framed by a beautiful garden windowscape. Family and friends will be drawn into the living room where the fireplace and mantle provide a great spot around which to gather and light pours in through a wide panoramic window. Equally, all might be drawn into the country kitchen, newly renovated with cherry cabinetry, GE Profile and Café range appliances, granite countertops and marble tile backsplash. Pull up a chair to the breakfast bar or sit at the table in the glow of the gas fireplace and the warmth of sunlight from the adjacent four-seasons sunroom. More formal meals are beautifully accommodated just a few steps away, through a large open doorway from the kitchen into the dining room. The entertainment and living areas extend to the 900+ square foot finished lower level, complete with wet bar, bar counter and refrigerator, built-ins around a large tv (included), half bath, office/hobby/exercise room, windows galore and French sliders to the outside. Add more finished space or use the 1,200 square feet of unfinished area for storage – there’s plenty of shelving and cabinetry. Here you’ll enjoy 3,400 square feet of charming living space plus the benefit of another 795 square feet in a legal accessory apartment that fits the new generation lifestyle. Beyond the substantive financial incentives offered by a legal rental, it can provide safe, affordable housing for a relative (perhaps in-laws or a grown child or couple) or accommodation for a live-in caregiver, increasing the potential for companionship, a sense of security and perhaps help with some tasks such as snow removal or garden maintenance. Subject to permit approval, it might also offer the right space for your professional office. Imagine all the possibilities for an accessory apartment with a private entrance, large bedroom, living room, eat-in-kitchen, bath, walk-up attic and deep 1 car garage with room for a work area, bikes, boxes and lots more. What a wonderful place to call home! – just two miles north of the Merritt Parkway, convenient to Route 7 and the Connecticut Turnpike (I-95), I-684 and I-84. Trains to and from Grand Central Station serve nearby stops and for corporate, charter and regional flights, Westchester County Airport is 30 minutes away.
