Sherman, Connecticut, the northernmost town in Fairfield County, is perhaps underrated by buyers as a place to call home. Named “Best Small Town in Connecticut” three times by Connecticut Magazine, the charming town holds a mix of traditional historic homes, as well as some more contemporary ones. If unique architecture is your thing, it has that, too. A one-of-a-kind residence is now on the market there asking $1,995,000.
Built in 1963 but added upon with two expansions designed by David Specter in 1988 and 1997, the lengthy home stretches 6,000 square feet and sits on over six acres. Whether you fancy the warmer weather or those winter days, this spot is the perfect backdrop for every season.
Airy on the inside, the structure displays a melding of the decades while staying cohesively modern with large windows, minimalist sensibilities, and interesting lines. While the kitchen sits separately from the living and dining rooms, the flow is still breezy and open for entertaining. Meanwhile, the primary suite is accessed through a statement-making, semi-circular staircase.
One of the additions afforded a two-bedroom guesthouse to bring the property to a total of six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Outside, a tennis court and in-ground pool await for resort-like living amidst the groovy architectural splendor. If the price is right, maybe it would even be ideal for Manhattanites in search of a Connecticut weekend retreat.
Irit Granger of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
