Prepare to be enchanted this summer! Spacious and stunningly authentic 4-bedroom Connecticut French ch?teau on four floors (including a turret up a mahogany spiral staircase overlooking the carved cedar rooftops and fairytale pond) is magically situated on almost 6 private waterfront acres of meandering pathways, gurgling fountains, rock formations and westerly sunsets over Wright’s Pond, transporting you to a European vacation home 90 minutes from Manhattan. A designer/artist’s retreat, the home boasts a signature ‘Medieval Modern’ aesthetic with contemporary French flair and a sophisticated palette of cognacs, creams and ebonies. Flame mahogany chef’s kitchen, cathedral ceilinged sitting room with stone fireplace, French sliders to three patios overlooking the tranquil pond (with frequent visits from herons, hawks and bald eagles who nest nearby at Lover’s Leap Park), new Weber grill and multiple dining areas, media/game room with ping pong, dart armoire and ‘tasting area’ for wine enthusiasts (including reading material for the true oenophile), full designer bath in lower level adjacent to dedicated tv room (the ch?teau has five TV’s, including one in the grand suite steam shower) and central air throughout to complete perfection in comfort and entertainment.
