Description

Designed by Beinfield Architecture and built in 2013, this exceptional modern colonial blends timeless craftsmanship with the ease and sophistication of in-town Rowayton living. The home offers the quality of new construction enhanced by warm, custom details and a fresh, inviting aesthetic throughout. Perfectly situated moments from the Five Mile River, train, village shops, and local beaches, the location captures the very best of coastal convenience and charm. Inside, sun-drenched living spaces, 9-foot ceilings, and an effortless open layout create an atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortable. At the heart of the home, a stunning chef's kitchen with a dramatic 12-foot marble island opens seamlessly to the family and dining areas, while a separate sitting room offers a more intimate retreat. French doors lead to a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard, featuring a covered bluestone patio, mahogany deck, mature plantings, and a newly added built-in outdoor kitchen. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite feels like a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, an oversized marble shower, soaking tub, and expansive walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms, including one en-suite, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the second level. The finished third floor provides ideal flexibility with a fifth bedroom, full bath, wet bar, sitting area, and a private office. A rare opportunity to enjoy refined coastal living in the heart of Rowayton.

The neighbourhood is in walking distance to downtown entertainment, local parks, waterfronts, and the transit (bus and/or train) are easily accessible. There is a variety of religious institutions no matter your beliefs. The hospital and police station are close by. More importantly, what gives this town its charm is the people.
