Just so wonderful here. Shutters are imported from France.

Just so wonderful here. Shutters are imported from France. The front door is perfection, not to mention the door knocker… yet another heavy weight in this equation.

Beautiful french details in a kitchen that will stand the test of time. Quality always does.

Beautiful details in a kitchen that will stand the test of time and trend. The mantlepiece was brought over from France, and the Delft tile over the stove is very special.  House Beautiful got it right when they named this “kitchen of the month”.

 

The "eat-in" part of the kitchen and off to the left are the stairs to the family room.

The “eat-in” part of the kitchen, and off to the left are the stairs to the family room. It’s all so civilized.

 

Favorite room in the house. And not a bad bedroom either. A view facing South West will keep you on the terrace in the early evenings.

In the details.

The bathroom shot (you are asking)? Yes. It’s all in the details -choice of hardware. Simple and classic.

 

Gardens

Maze like Gardens that create places to go and enjoy a private setting.

 

spectacular

Spectacular point de vue.  While our bold and beautiful flag flies high here, there is a moment when you walk out onto the terrace over looking the pool you might be transported to your favorite Mediterranean “hide-away”.

 

A rose garden

It’s hard to know where you are when you are back here. Although I am sure you are not guessing France, there is such a wonderful european influence back here, and everywhere.

 

If you are thinking about making a change from the Connecticut classic it is worth taking a look at this very special house.  It is a unique opportunity on the market today.  You will have the pleasure of living along the Connecticut coast line with all the “je ne said quoi” you want.  Call us!  We would love to show this exceptional gem.
