A colorful slate path leads to the front door of this natural wood shingle house with maroon trim and shutters. The door opens into one-level living and 2,323 square feet of living space; 1,773 square feet on the main level and another 550 square feet in the finished lower level. Should it be necessary, there is also a walk-up attic with room for expansion, the agent said.

The spacious formal living room features a stone fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves and cabinets and an alcove.

The spacious formal living room features a stone fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves and cabinets, and an alcove comprising three walls of windows that would make a great relaxing or reading area. It is separated from the formal dining room by multi-paned pocket doors. Both rooms have wide-planked hardwood flooring and the dining room has chair railing. The kitchen is quite large and is ideal when preparing family holiday meals and the menu for a large gathering of friends, when that is safe to do once again. Above the sink is a sign with a reminder that this home is a place of “Peace, Love, Joy.”

While this house is set among larger homes on this street, it’s important to keep in mind that bigger isn’t always better. Additionally, large or small, every house on this street has the same opportunity to enjoy all that Easton has to offer, including excellent schools, hiking trails, and farms, yet just minutes away from highways, shopping, restaurants, the Merritt Parkway and more. And, New York City is only about one hour away by car or Metro-North Railroad. The train stations in neighboring Fairfield and Westport are not that far.

This property has two sheds and plenty of room for a vegetable garden.
