About the Home
A One-of-a-Kind Connecticut Estate: "Chestnut Farm" Having changed hands just three times in over two centuries, Chestnut Farm is not just a home-it's a legacy waiting to continue. Discover the rare opportunity to own this breathtaking estate, where timeless charm and modern refinement make every day extraordinary. Step into the unparalleled charm of Chestnut Farm, a Circa 1830s Federal Colonial masterpiece that seamlessly marries historic elegance with modern luxury. Once owned by Samuel Banks, this one-of-a-kind estate has been masterfully reimagined and completely modernized in 2013 to create a retreat where every day feels like a vacation. From the moment you enter the inviting entryway, you're embraced by a sense of history and hospitality. The heart of the home-a kitchen-great-room with oyster-quartz countertops, iridescent tilework, stainless steel appliances, and a vintage pub-style bar-combines style and functionality, making it perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The media area, framed by exposed beams and a stately stone fireplace, flows effortlessly to a newly built sprawling TimberTech deck and charming stone terraces. The estate offers four fireplaces, a tranquil study-bedroom, and formal living and dining rooms designed for gatherings of any scale. The luxurious primary bedroom boasts 15-foot rustic tray ceilings, a spa-inspired bath, and vintage touches that echo timeless elegance.
