Ideally located on a private lot in close proximity to public and private schools, 25 Hillcrest Rd. is located on a low traffic street on New Canaan’s lower west side within minutes of the Merritt Parkway, Talmadge Hill train station and down town New Canaan. Spanning close to 8,000 sq ft, the transitional floor plan masterfully blends open concept spaces with more intimate, private spaces. Featuring 9′ ceilings throughout and a clean, contemporary design aesthetic, the gracious home is perfect for entertaining large crowds while at the same time comfortable for everyday living. Entering through the custom designed front door, you are welcomed by a grand foyer with unobstructed views through the living room to the private backyard. As you move through the home, the centrally located family room is connected to both the large formal dining room and the gourmet kitchen which is flooded with natural light through six over sized windows. Featuring a clean, white design aesthetic the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. With a large 8.5′ island coupled with two sinks and two dishwashers, prep and clean-up is easy. The adjacent pantry with lots of cabinetry and mudroom provide a place for everything, keeping the main living area neat and tidy. Not to be missed on the 1st floor is the large en suite guest bedroom (which could also serve as the primary bedroom) and a large private office.
