Experience the timelessness of The Chimneys, an architectural gem designed by the legendary Charles Wellington Walker in 1928. Originally built with the finest materials, this Georgian Revival style home garnered the prestigious America's Finest Home Award in 2015, acknowledging the attention to detail that has gone into its restoration. A 54-foot front-to-back Grand Hall, centered by a sweeping staircase with unique hand-wrought iron balustrades, exudes a sense of elegance. The 11 fireplaces, each a work of art, adorn the rooms with distinct style, adding warmth and character. The main floor includes a front-to-back living room with twin fireplaces, billiard room, library, formal dining room, office, and a kitchen/family room combination. Two extra rooms could become an in-law suite w. separate entrance and full bath. On the 2nd floor, the primary suite beckons with a full bathroom, dressing room with a fireplace and terrace, and a Juliette balcony, offering views of Long Island Sound. Five of the bedrooms on the 2nd level are ensuite, and boast their own fireplaces. In total, there are 11 BR, 7 full BA, and 3 partial BA. Adjacent to the 6-car garage, a townhouse-style carriage house provides a guest area. The two-story columned porch on the side invites you to the in-ground pool and cabana, complete with statuary. There is a full-length stone patio in the rear, overlooking the fountain and perennial gardens. Land may be subdividable, due to .20 acre zoning.
