88 West Road, Canton, Connecticut

About 88 West Road

Be Transported Inspired by the original in Provence, France; this private home and its stunning setting are unique in Connecticut. Just shy of 5 acres, the land bequeaths the best of nature - wild-flower filled meadows, a mature apple, peach and almond orchard, open river frontage on Cherry Brook, unobstructed views of the mountainside. Deliberate stewardship welcomes brook trout, butterflies, tree swallows and more. An original reproduction of a beloved Provence country cottage, the handsome stucco exterior is complimented by extensive stone walls and beautifully designed perennial gardens. Soaring ceilings, and well-placed windows capture the beauty outside, while herring bone oak floors and thoughtful millwork define each space. The chef's kitchen features an ample pantry, while the adjacent dining room opens to the upper patio, enhancing entertainment options. The living room's fireplace will warm the first floor, while the library adds a wet bar to sink into a romance novel. Cathedral ceilings in the living room rise 20+ft and skylights add stars and moon rises to the panoramic vista. High ceilings dominate the primary suite, which enjoys a massive spa bath. The lower level offers opportunities for personalization with two finished rooms in addition to an ensuite and third bedroom. Outdoors, a pool, second paved patio/massive stone firepit await. Quite simply, a masterpiece of grace, elegance, design, and guardianship, just minutes from civilization.
