Home of the Week: 5 Acres and Plenty of Windows to View Them

by Michele Taranto

This 62 year-old Weston split level takes full advantage of its five bucolic acres from its great supply and size of windows and doors. Those features are immediately apparent as prospective homebuyers tour its grounds, and inside, with its abundance of light and picturesque views. While its design is rather contemporary, its rural setting provides a perfect balance of modernization and country.

Architectural and updated features abound within its nearly 3,000 square feet of sophisticated living space, within its foundation and behind the scenes. Some examples include a magnificent great room with bamboo floors, a fireplace and wet bar, and recently updated kitchen, baths, roof, windows, air conditioning and heating systems, a well, two-car garage and five-bedroom septic system.

The floor plan on the first level reflects the admiration of its outdoor surroundings and a relaxed lifestyle with three common rooms that visually stretch its square footage through its blueprint and dimensions and provide the ideal setting for effortless entertaining. This level includes an oversized 36 x 23 square foot living/family room with a cathedral ceiling, fireplace and wet bar and a 13 x 12 square foot gourmet kitchen with premier ingredients and a lovely breakfast room. These areas all draw attention to its landscape with oversized casements and doors. This story also provides the convenience of single-floor living with a 13 x 12 square foot bedroom, full bath and laundry facilities. 

The second level hosts three additional bedrooms, a 19 x 11 square foot master and two at 14 x 10 and 10 x 10 square feet. There are also two full baths and a charming 10 x 7 square foot sitting room to complete this floor.

The living quarters of this Weston home will provide years of security and comfort for its residents, but a description of this property would not be complete without emphasizing its panoramic five acre backdrop that is privately surrounded by conservation land and a reservoir. The future title holders of this incredibly appealing address will experience not only its luxurious interior accommodations, but a quiet and tranquil landscape to reflect and absorb all the ecological beauty Mother Nature has to offer.
