Bonnie Doone House, 138 Silvermine Avenue<\/h2>\n

Perched on a knoll overlooking Silvermine Avenue is a rambling white colonial situated there since 1780, a classic 18th-century center hall colonial with additions on both the side and rear of the house. Sometime in the 1930s and 1940s, it was purchased by the Wallau family. Alex Wallau owned a textile company which manufactured and sold fashion stockings under the brand Bonnie Doone. Over time, the house took on the name of the family’s firm and became known as the Bonnie Doone house.<\/p>\n

The property still has a shuffleboard court dating from the 1940s, and its rear borders the Silvermine River. Extravagant parties were held in the home and on its grounds, attended by business magnates and socialites from New York. As one of the original homes in Silvermine, an area of Norwalk that has been home and resort for numerous celebrities and artists over the years, the Bonnie Doone house provides a look into Norwalk\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

The home features thirteen rooms, with five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, and two fireplaces. The main floor has a formal living room with nine-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, a fireplace and French doors. Also on the first floor is the dining room and the family room with a fireplace and a den. Upstairs there are three large bedrooms en suite. A smaller bedroom, an additional bath, and an office complete the second floor.<\/p>\n

Although the house has been extensively updated, many of its historic features remain, including original beams using wooden pegs. Recently featured in the Norwalk Hour<\/a>, the home’s potential was highlighted in an HGTV Property Brothers episode that aired in September 2016.<\/p>\n
