8 Calumet Road, Westport, Connecticut
Calumet Road, which is tucked away three blocks off Main Street and just off Clinton Avenue and has a quiet neighborhood feel, where there are more children passing on bikes and couples walking dogs, than there are cars. Just five minutes from downtown Westport and a mere two minutes from the Merritt Parkway, this desirable part of town, with its collection of well-kept homes, offers the best of both location and convenience. Built in late 2007, this exceptional, owner designed, stone front, colonial features a well thought out, flexible floor plan and large, well proportioned rooms with good flow and continuity. The house sits up on a slight knoll, which adds both sunlight and a level of privacy. Beautiful and well cared for landscaping around the property includes Dogwoods, Hydrangea, Roses, Azalea and Rhododendrons. Upon entering the welcoming Foyer, the high level of craftsmanship is immediately evident, from the gorgeous hardwood floors and elegant paneled staircase to the high ceilings and tastefully decorated interior. To the right, lies the formal Living Room with its crown molding and oversized windows which look out over the front and side yards. This elegant room flows past carved wood pillars and onto the Formal Dining Room, which features a dramatic tray ceiling and paneled walls. Off the Dining Room, lies the well lit Gourmet Kitchen, replete with top end stainless GE Profile appliances including double wall ovens, one of which is an "Advantium" with a "Speed Cook" option, plus a Jenn-Air cook top with an indoor grill feature. The light colored granite countertops include a convenient center island with a second sink. Towards the Breakfast Area, there is a built-in, Full Sized Desk. The beautiful cherry cabinets offer plenty of storage and are supplemented by a good-sized Pantry and Laundry Room with extra-large capacity frontloading washer and dryer, utility sink, counter space and plenty of custom-built storage. A wonderful feature to this home is the very handy "Dumbwaiter", a small freight elevator which runs from the lower level garage up to the Kitchen and then on up to the Master Bedroom. You'll wonder how you ever lived without one as you load it up with groceries or send breakfast upstairs! At the rear of the house is an inviting Family Room, with floor-to-ceiling built-ins on either side of a marble and wood encased Gas Fireplace which features an intelligent remote control.. Pocket French doors lead through from the Kitchen to a comfortable Den or Informal Dining Room. Off the Kitchen is a bright and airy All Season Spa Room. With vaulted ceilings, three walls of windows overlooking the lush backyard and a new six person 72 Jet "Thermo-Spa" in which to relax year-round! This room has its own HVAC zone. The Spa can also easily be moved outdoors. There is a Double Office located off the Foyer. This unique setup could either be a his and her Office or would work perfectly as an office for a work from home professional whose needs include a Reception Area. A Powder Room with crown molding, an antique style carved wood vanity with coordinated mirror and marble top, rounds out the first floor living. The second floor Master Bedroom, which is large enough to comfortably fit a king size bed, is accented with a chair rail, crown molding and features three oversized windows with views to the front and side of the property. The large en-suite Master Bathroom with its Jacuzzi tub and oversized frameless glass-walled shower, complete with built-in tiled bench, also has a separate water closet, a built-in dressing table and Corian topped double vanity, elegant sconce lighting, a large tilting mirror and crown molding. The Master also features a large and well lit custom, walk in closet. Three more spacious and well appointed Bedrooms round out the second floor, two of which share a Jack and Jill Bathroom, the third of which has its own en suite Bathroom. All Bedrooms have crown molding, chair rails and are well outfitted with amply sized closets. The walk-up third floor, with its row of four dormer windows and two oversized end windows, offers a wealth of expansion opportunities! Easily add two more Bedrooms and another Full Bath (plumbing already in place) or convert to an Entertainment Room. Plans are available upon request. Directly off the large Three Car Garage lies the lower level Foyer/Mud Room. There is also a large Storage Room, offering an additional 380 sqft.
