Property Description
Welcome to Hermitswood, an award-winning estate spanning 6,321 SF on over 8 acres in historic Newtown. French Norman-style masterpiece, beautifully renovated in 2018 by Charles Hilton Architects, perfectly combines elegance w/modern luxury. Over 14 years of dedicated ownership has seen an investment of $2.9 M into this stunning property. Hermitswood features 2 gated entrances, exquisite gardens, grand steps leading to a 30x95' natural, non-chemical pool, 3 inviting patios & a lily pond. The landscape master plan was thoughtfully designed by Tara Vincenta of Artemis Landscape Architects. Dual award-winning estate (recognized by CT Cottages and Gardens) received first place in 2015 for Landscape Design and again in 2017 for its remarkable chef's kitchen. The kitchen dazzles w/2 11' Calcutta marble islands, custom plaster moldings, double sinks, Waterstone fixtures, & a Lacanche stove/oven range. Two-story family rm boasts a 17th-century French fireplace and clerestory windows, accented by a custom honeycomb ceiling motif, while other highlights incl ancient French stone flooring, custom laundry rm, a home gym, an office, a wine cellar, & 4-car garage. Chicken coop is outfitted w/a charming chandelier & a NPR news/music feed for the delightful animals inside. Hermitswood is a rare gem that you simply must see! The current owners, after completing the first 2 phases of this remarkable estate, are looking to downsize but will share their plans for phase 3-the cottage restoration.
