THE CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP – Fabulous price adjustment!

After a while, walking into a house that has all the “bells and whistles”, and the proverbial “decorated and clean look”, makes no impression; it’s hard to distinguish one house from the other. Why is one better than the other? Not sure.

But, as we turned in to 3 Nolen Lane  I started to hear Handel’s Messiah blast through my head…”Hallelujah…Hallelujah!”  (If you haven’t sat to listen to that lately, now would be a good time). 5 bedrooms/ 6 full baths/ 2 1/2 baths, gorgeous pool, terraces, two fireplaces, cedar shingle roof, and a beautiful property. Depending on the tone you want to set with the decorating, I am thinking either Suzanne Kasler or Henrietta Spencer-Churchill would create a fabulous and livable space here.   Asking $2,925,000 by Sheree Frank at HOULIHAN LAWRENCE. SOLD AND CLOSED.

Summer garden. Thinking its time to take a run

Terraces, flower beds, pool side... I am thinking about the stunning selection at Janus et Cie one might put around the pool. (Still obsessed with Janus et Cie).

Another angle of the pool. As you can see, its private and will be a wonderful place to find you self floating in August!

Living room at Nolan Lane.

Dining room at Nolen Lane.

A dining room by Suzanne Kasler. Love that grass cloth on the walls. Chic and makes the room a little less formal.

Or, maybe do what Henrietta Spencer-Chruchill might do. Here is one of hers. Love it too!

One of Henrietta Spencer-Churchill's kitchens. Could be very cool on Nolan Lane.

The architect Jan Vink built three or four of the quintessential Connecticut colonials on this street. Now, all these years later, they are still oozing curb appeal.  Its a fabulous street with lots of “residential eye candy”.  If you are in the market for something that stands out, you need to see this. Please call us if you want to see it.  We would love to show you this property.  (And no, I won’t make anyone listen to Handel’s Messiah!)
