About the Home

Tradition for the untraditional. Feel the serenity of the historic Samuel Meeker Homestead c.1728, located in a prime Hunt Club neighborhood and boasting the original front door with a musket ball hole from a visit by the British during the 1777 Danbury Raid. The period details in each of 3 wings must be experienced: beehive oven and hand-hewn beams in the pre-revolutionary saltbox. Mid-century modern addition boasts a Great Room with a barrel-vaulted ceiling and Brazilian cherry floor, a true butler’s pantry, a master bedroom suite with Waterworks bath and marble steam shower. The whimsical colonial revival wing will charm guests and family. Painstakingly restored, immaculately maintained and updated with Rose Adams kitchen (Viking/Sub-Zero), this 4 bedroom, 5 fireplace home is also perfect for entertaining large. Professionally insulated through the CT Energy Efficiency Program, this low maintenance c. 1728 "Smart House" includes such innovations as self-cleaning gutters. Additional 576SF in finished lower level. A true treasure!
