Set well back, bordered by traditional New England stone walls, at the end of a cul-de-sac on 1.62 pastoral acres lives this 1880s farm house in West Norwalk. In the later part of the 19th century, much of the land in West Norwalk consisted of farms – dairy, hay, pasture for animals, vegetable – owned by a very diverse population.

Over the years, this farmhouse has evolved into a colonial revival house circa 1950 with elements of an older house – beams, paneling and two fireplaces – with owners expanding, renovating and updating still leaving the possibility of redecorating to meet today’s lifestyles. The roof, exterior shingles, central air conditioning, city water, Generac generator system are already in place, with city sewer line in the street. Major landscaping has been done. A two car garage with heated studio above is another plus for this farmhouse which features eight rooms, three bedrooms and two full baths. Cathedral ceiling, arched doorways, and many nooks and crannies add to the unique character of this home. As it sits on 1.62 acres of land, there is the potential that the lot could be subdivided, or simply enjoyed with all of its tranquility. I-95, Route 1, Route 123, trains, and the Merritt Parkway are all within ten minutes of the house, as well as Oak Hills Park with tennis courts and golf course.
