The main level features gracious living & dining rooms with fireplaces & an open-concept kitchen that flows into a family room overlooking the expansive backyard. A glass-lined breezeway connects the house to a spectacular renovated barn. Featured in *New England Home* magazine, this climate-controlled "Great Room" boasts soaring ceilings & sliding doors to a stone patio, creating a premier space for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat with a renovated bath & dual walk-in closets. 2 additional bedrooms-each with fireplace details-share an updated bath alongside a dedicated home office. The finished walk-out lower level adds a recreation room, gym, & private guest suite. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac that ends at a sprawling nature preserve, the property offers total privacy while remaining incredibly convenient. Situated less than 10 minutes from the downtown centers of Wilton, New Canaan, Ridgefield, & Pound Ridge.

    "Recently moved to Wilton and absolutely love it. We love going for family walks in the nature trails, or just taking a walk to the local restaurants or cafes. The parks are clean and well maintained, the rivers and lakes are clear and looked after. The Wilton community is friendly and welcoming, it’s a great place to call home."

    "Beautiful neighborhood, over rated schools. High taxes, high debt, Low turnout on budget issues. Poor road maintenance, wasted money on new school, with declining school age population. Retail outlets closing, with no incentives to stay. No plan to attract new businesses. A pompous attitude prevails by a community who time past by"

    "We live here and it is the best place we have ever lived! We thought when we bought it that we would move in a couple of years, but now we know this has everything we need and is safe, walkable, pet friendly, conveniently located and the neighborhood community is awesome. Having 4 bedrooms and a detached house with plenty of parking for our family and guests makes living easy. Our resident board and the management company are proactive and approachable. The grounds and upkeep through every season have been outstanding, nothing to complain about! These houses rarely come on the market and when they do there are always multiple bids. This has proven to be an amazing investment. Grumman Village possesses a desirable and stable mixed neighborhood of families, singles, couples and retirees."
