First time on the market. Show-stopping custom build in sought after Fairfield County neighborhood. Be the home that hosts EVERYTHING in this one-of-a-kind 5 bedroom colonial built by well known local builder as his own home. Upon entering the grand foyer you are welcomed with a view of the spectacular open balcony staircase and floor to ceiling windows overlooking a private yard that backs up to open space. On your right is the formal living room/home office space and to your left is the spacious formal dining room designed for formal gatherings. Nestled out of the way is a private main floor bedroom with its own full bath (additional 4 bedrooms are upstairs) . The family room offers cathedral ceilings, built-ins, a cozy fireplace, beautiful natural sunlight and views of the stone patio. The open floor plan flows into the casual dining space and impressive kitchen. Off of the kitchen is the Great Room that offers just over 600 sq ft of flexible living space. Envision this room as a parlor with a pool table, gaming, and the big screen tv of your dreams or create useful design vignettes such as a second home office, a library, or a home school space. On the second floor you will be wowed by the primary suite with a private sitting area, luxurious ensuite and large walk in closet. Also upstairs are 3 more bedrooms. One bedroom has its own private full bath while 2 bedrooms share a charming jack-and-jill full bathroom.
