This week’s featured Wilton home is 305 Thayer Pond Rd., a beautiful property that’s host to both a main house and a guest house/legal rental that’s actually a historic log cabin. Situated on the New Canaan line on one of Wilton’s most sought-after streets, this elegant, sophisticated and impeccably-maintained colonial has over $200,000 invested in renovations, entertainment areas and custom-design landscaping.
The park-like, beautiful grounds offer fabulous entertaining possibilities. There’s an outdoor area with many levels for entertaining and relaxing, including a beautiful porch and spacious deck with a new hot tub. Stunning Walpole fencing, deer fencing and professional landscaping throughout property accent mature plantings and many perennial beds. A double stone stairway cascades down from two terraces, and a professional bocce court and playground illuminated by extensive decorative lighting and filled with surround sound. Plus, there’s a log seating area around a campfire circle next to a pond.
High-end throughout, the stunning cathedral ceiling dining room opens to a screened porch, a large deck, a new hot tub, a cascading stone staircase with two terraces, bocce court and playground. Interior and exterior surround sound with a campfire circle by the pond adds to the amenities of this rare Wilton gem.
Spacious, bright and elegant, marble floors leads visitors to the dining room, living room and kitchen. The living room has a marble fireplace and French pocket doors. An elegant, grand dining room with cathedral ceilings and marble fireplace opens to lovely porch with outdoor views. A beautiful open kitchen with a built-in window seat and radiant tile floor, features granite and high-end appliances.
The second floor bedrooms include the sophisticated and serene master bedroom awash in natural light and includes a large walk-in closet and bath. The other bedrooms are inviting and light-filled, enhanced with warm hardwood floors, decorative lighting and expansive built-ins. Plus a bonus room/family room/home office has beautiful views of the property, and is enhanced by executive custom built-ins, double built-in desks with expansive concealed file cabinets, recessed lighting and cathedral ceilings.
The home’s lower level is newly renovated, with multiple areas for entertainment and various uses. There’s a new, full bathroom with Jerusalem marble, a second kitchen, a media room and laundry area.
There’s also a charming cottage guest house (which is also permitted as a legal rental). It was completely renovated inside and out, and has a stunning stone fireplace, new roof, kitchen, bathroom and its own washer/dryer. It’s actually one of the original historic log cabins of the Hunt Club (which existed where the current Lake Club now is).
