Golf enthusiasts, take note, within minutes of this house are four courses: Aspetuck Valley Country Club and golf course in Weston, Connecticut Golf Club in Easton, and Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course and H. Smith Richardson Golf Course, both in Fairfield.

In the eat-in section of the kitchen there is a bay window.

The house was built in 1994 and has been well-maintained inside and out. Among its many features are hardwood floors, crown moldings, a first floor office with built-ins, vaulted ceilings, an ample amount of closets, all remodeled baths, and a remodeled eat-in kitchen. A long slate path leads to the covered front entrance. The front door opens into the foyer, which is flanked by the formal living and dining rooms. The dining room has a tray ceiling.
