Sophisticated Antique Colonial on the South Wilton/Westport border in Fairfield County. Own your own home in one of the most desireable small communities in the United States at an extremely affordable price. Towering trees engulf this three bedroom, two and one half bath antique located in one of the consistently top rated school districts in the state of Connecticut and the country. Less than an hour from Manhattan by train or car, ten minutes from the beach and situated just minutes from Westport or Wilton Centers with terrific restaurants, shopping, movies and live theater. Also many hiking trails and historic sites within minutes.

Built in 1765 the house is situated on what was the original Westport-Wilton Road (which the British marched on as they made their way up to the battle of Ridgefield). This house was built by Ezra Waterbury as a wedding present to his daughter Rhuana and son-in law. The house has been enlarged and renovated over the years, but some original construction remains including foundations, floors, windows and fireplaces. Part of one chimney is built from bricks used as ballast in ships engaged in the Colonial trade. The cellar, with its dirt floor, has an original baking oven. But this is no historical relic. Set on over two wooded shared acres with additional two acres of protected wetlands behind, this three bedroom features two fireplaces, beams, hardwood and mosaic tile floors, central AC upstairs and brick patio with fountain.

(Additionally, there is a seperate three story barn/Artist's Studio with two below ground bays for cars or storage and two floors above with sleeping loft. The barn was moved here at the beginning of the 19th century and is made of post and beam construciton. This terrific space has been used for music rehearsals, formal dinner parties, photo shoots, artist studio, home office, game room and for barn dances! It is a maleable space that is only limited by your needs and imagination. Barn is not fully insulated - yet - but has heat and AC for a three season space.  - Barn is not included in Rental).
