About this home

This captivating 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath antique Colonial is ready for its next chapter. Celebrated by The New York Times, Realtor.com, and Homes.com for its distinctive character, this home offers the ultimate blend of historic integrity and modern ease. The delightful, light-filled interior was designed for effortless, low-maintenance living. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating wide-plank floors and an updated granite kitchen. French doors lead to a private stone patio, looking out on 1.49 professionally landscaped acres with classic stone walls, native gardens and serene outdoor spaces. The main level features a dramatic dining room with a skylight, a spacious living room with a cozy reading nook and wood stove, plus a main-level laundry room. Upstairs, a vintage-inspired full bath accompanies 3 charming bedrooms, including a primary suite with a large walk-in closet. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property is a part of the Pollinator Pathway Project and a Certified National Wildlife Habitat. Located in Wilton's Historic District, this home trades the burden of an oversized footprint for an efficient, lock-and-go sanctuary. Best of all, you are just a short stroll to Georgetown's vibrant cafes, restaurants, and Caraluzzi's Market. Complete with city water, total privacy, and easy access to Route 7 and Metro-North, this is a perfectly priced masterclass in historic charm.

Listing & sale history

Every time this exact home has come to market in the MLS data this site tracks. Where a sale closed, the recorded sale price is shown; "asking" marks a price the home was listed at rather than what it sold for.

Public record

From the Wilton assessor's public property record. These figures describe the property as the town has it on file and can differ from the listing — a finished basement or an addition may not be reflected in the assessor's living area.

Recorded sales

Deed transfers on file with the Wilton land records, newest first. These are recordings rather than MLS sales, so they include transfers that were never listed. Nominal and $0 transfers (estate, trust and family conveyances) are excluded.
