Privacy abounds at 6 Colony Road in lower Weston, where a Nantucket-style custom-built colonial house sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac along the Saugatuck River.
Travel down the long circular driveway to the one-acre property, which includes the main house and a two-bedroom legal rental cottage, both of which are pale gray with charcoal gray shutters. The setting makes it ideal for a relaxing lifestyle, entertaining friends and family and working. There are several rooms within the 5,250-square-foot house that could be used as a home office. Additionally, the cottage could be the site of a home-based business.
Built in 2001, the main house has a covered front porch and a spacious wood deck, some of which is covered, on the rear of the house from which to sit and enjoy the river views.
There is a lot of flexibility in the way the rooms can be used on the first floor, and on the second floor there is a bonus room that also could have multiple functions. It currently serves as a combination media room and home theater, and it has an overhead projector. It could also be an office or children's playroom.
The large foyer has a limestone floor with a decorative pattern and a sitting area, and it provides access to the former parlor, which is currently used as a formal dining room. The sizable living room could be used instead as a family room, and the existing family room, which has a hand-crafted, floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace with built-in storage boxes and a deep tray ceiling, could be an office or library.
The windows in this family room are topped with transoms and the rear wall has several French doors to the wood deck allowing for views of the natural surroundings.
Nestled between the family and living rooms, around the corner from the dining room is a wet bar with a marble counter, stainless sink, beverage refrigerator and glass shelving.
The gourmet kitchen features bead board on the lower walls, granite counters, a white ceramic subway-style tile backsplash and an eat-in area with built-in seating. It also boasts high-end appliances such as a six-burner Thermador Professional range, two wall-mounted ovens and a 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator hidden behind paneling that blends in with the cabinets.
In addition to the bonus room, the second floor has the master bedroom suite and two other bedrooms, all of which are en suite, and the laundry room with slate flooring. The master has a red brick fireplace and French doors to a balcony from which to take in river views. There are also his and hers walk-in closets.
The tumbled marble and limestone master bath has a jetted tub, large walk-in shower, double vanity and water closet. It also has a multi-paned door to the balcony.
On the third floor there is a large landing with a sitting or reading area and one large room, which could serve as a storage area or as an office or another bedroom if necessary. Two walls have long, built-in desk areas.
In the ranch-style cottage there are two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen with ceramic tile floor and breakfast bar, a screened porch with a ceiling fan, living room with a fireplace and hardwood floors.
