Beyond the delightful, unassuming exterior awaits a deceivingly larger-than-it-looks renovated and expanded cape! Architectural elements such as varied ceiling heights, beams, and pillars define the casual portion of the home - a great room concept w/kitchen, dining, and family areas for gathering. A wall of windows w/two sets of sliders reveals the beautiful view while beckoning to enjoy the expansive patio. The kitchen's perimeter wall is hugged by cabinets, granite countertops, sink, SS appliances. A large pantry, and island with seating complete the space. Living/dining rooms, original to the house offer intimate space to gather w/period details - Delft blue tile fireplace surround, custom shiplap wainscoting, arched framed wood doors, and wide plank wood floors w/walnut accent strips. Main floor bathroom - neutral design pallet, radiant floor heat, walk-in shower w/glass surround. The freestanding soaking tub has a sensational, vintage inspired window backdrop for privacy. Upstairs the exceptionally large primary suite enjoys vaulted ceiling, double closet alcove, bathroom with dual sinks, and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and full bathroom complete the second floor. A separate entrance leads to the office for business and exercise. Lovely grounds w/mature trees, gardens, stone walls, irrigation system and cottage - a fully equipped ADU perfect for in-law's, boomerang kids or guests. The cottage has a full kitchen set up, full bathroom, and attic storage - the hot water and cooking are heated by a separate 300-gallon Propane tank. Walk to the Rowayton train station! Get ready to love where you live - located on the Norwalk/Rowayton/Darien border with waterfront and award-winning dining, shopping, concerts, boating, beaches and so much more. And yes, you can enjoy Bayley Beach with a season pass - just a 5-minute car ride away. In the main house - the original nautical period details continue in the main floor bedroom - wide plank wood floors with walnut accent strips, shiplap wainscoting and arched wood doors. In the great room - look up and follow the custom stone chimney above the Vermont Castings woodburning stove to discover the open space above and view the nautically inspired Juliet balconies and catwalk. The kitchen has plenty of storage with the walk-in pantry, storage closets and cabinets. And what a great set up with the island serving as a buffer to the prep areas. This should also inspire and increase the possibility of a sous chef or two or perhaps someone to cheer you on! 3-year-old roof. 8 Velux skylights throughout house. 1st Floor Oil Fired heating system with built in humidifier. 2nd floor heating Trane Heat Pump. 1st and 2nd floor Central A/C with Trane/Smart Z wave thermostat hubs. 1st Floor Bathroom has electric radiant floor heat with Smart thermostat.
