About the Home

A rare opportunity to live on Topping Lane, a private wooded enclave Rowayton adjacent. Set atop a gentle rise on 1.35 bucolic acres, this gracious stone-and-shingle residence offers five bedrooms and three and one-half baths in a serene, storybook setting defined by privacy, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. A circular drive winds through mature perennial gardens and English-style plantings to a substantial cherry front door, opening into an elegant foyer with wide-plank wood floors. The main level features a formal living room with fireplace, a formal dining room, a cherry-paneled library with fireplace, and a music room that anchors the home with warmth and character. At the heart of the residence is a spectacular kitchen-family room combination, renovated in the 1990s, unified by custom cherry millwork and soaring, chapel-like ceilings-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration, a commercial walk-in, a 60-inch Viking range, dual convection ovens, two dishwashers, and a convenient dumbwaiter to the garage. French doors open to a vaulted deck overlooking wooded grounds, ravine, and brook beyond. The primary suite occupies a private ground-level position, featuring warm maple finishes and a recently renovated spa-like bath with an oversized shower, soaking tub, and expansive alabaster countertops. A truly special offering in one of Norwalk's most coveted locations!
