Home of the Week: 479 Conant Road, Weston

This sophisticated Weston colonial on Conant Road was innovatively enhanced with an incredible flair that fully respected its foundational design and classic features and blended those timeless traits with contemporary architectural detailing. This nearly 5,000 square foot home is grounded with many traditional articles, including a winding staircase with a catwalk and overhead loft, large, entertainment sized rooms and a fluid, family-friend floor plan. It has also been graced, however, with unique and exceptional touches at every turn, such as its abundance of customary and decorative windows, coffered ceilings, French doors, columned entryways, built-in glass shelving and many more personal conveniences and amenities.

The first level of this lovely, well-appointed home begins with its formal spaces with an intimate 14 x 14 square foot living room and a large 23 x 14 square foot dining area with French doors that lead to a deck for refreshing al fresco dining. For daily and more casual occasions, there is a spacious 26 x 17 square foot fireplaced family room and the 22 x 24 square foot gourmet kitchen that is filled with premier accessories, such as upgraded cabinetry, granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a functional center island, wet bar and a warm, inviting breakfast room surrounded by walls of glass. This floor also offers a 14 x 14 square foot guest suite with a 3/4 bath.

The second level resourcefully tenders a variety of rooms to accommodate residents' personal preferences. For lodging, there is a 15 x 16 square foot master bedroom with a walk-in closet and luxurious private bath and two family bedrooms at 14 x 21 square feet. There is also a fully equipped 16 x 11 square foot laundry center, a 14 x 12 square foot office and a 16 x 11 square foot bonus space that would make a lovely children's playroom or second family room.

In addition to its comfortable interior living spaces, this home was also created and beautifully maintained and updated for outdoor enthusiasts. It is set on a 60,000 square foot picturesque landscape of rolling hills, stonewalls and mature trees. It also boasts a large, level space for outdoor recreational activities and entertaining within its enclosed porch and a charming patio with a hot tub.
