Marvelous mid-country custom build blends architectural intrigue, discerning design, amenities, and the latest in tech.

Turning in from Stanwich Road, the gates to the property open to a Belgian block-lined drive lined with linden trees opening onto the front courtyard. Classic shingle-shake siding, finished in the purest of white, an Alaskan Yellow Cedar roof, a texturally fascinating roof line with clerestory, and work-of-art stone chimneys combine to create an architecturally fascinating first impression. Created for discerning owner clients, every exquisite facet of this newly constructed home has been carefully curated. The interiors are decidedly bright and fresh, with a glass staircase that ascends to the upper levels and allows light to naturally fill the pathway. An elevator provides a practical alternative to the home’s two staircases.

High ceilings, 6-inch White Oak flooring, oversized windows, generously proportioned rooms, and fine art-worthy gallery walls are found throughout the home. The formal public rooms, as well as the more personal interior rooms, are replete with architectural and design details that are standout, yet cohesive, including a grand limestone fireplace in the great room, coffered and beamed ceilings, and retractable windows and doors that allow for indoor-to-outdoor living and entertaining.

Interiors expert Karen Berkemeyer of KB Homes (Westport) designed the baths and the superb chef’s kitchen. The space is both beautiful – with custom cabinetry, lighting and an oak beamed ceiling – and functional, with pro-grade appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele. With a wide view of the deep backyard, the kitchen is also complemented by a breakfast room and butler’s pantry. Five of the six bedrooms and a laundry are perfectly planned out on the second level, including an indulgent master suite, with a sitting room and fireplace, vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet with a center island, shoe/handbag closet, and a linen closet. The master’s en-suite bathroom is marble appointed, with a vaulted ceiling, freestanding soaking tub, and steam shower.
