6 Downe Lane, Wilton, CT 06897

This beautifully maintained antique center hall colonial is a must see, step-back in time. Located in sought-after South Wilton, close to everything buyers are searching for, with easy access to schools, town and Merritt Parkway/I-95. Perfectly situated on a corner lot cul de sac, it's just right for privacy and convenience. The professionally-maintained grounds and mature shade trees are amazing! Originally named the Gaylord home, its history dates back to 1726. This updated colonial is historically documented as one of the original homes to be built by the founders of the area. The current owners painstakingly converted it with all new modern day mechanical systems and appliances while also being mindful to maintain its original historic features, such as the original hand hewn 18-inch chestnut beams, wide plank oak flooring boards, 7-foot fieldstone fireplace with beehive oven, hand-forged strap door hinges and latches and solid wood 12 over 8 double hung windows. The stunning covered front porch and rear stone patio with firepit make it even more impressive. Take a walk back in time, way back! This home is as beautiful as much as it is unique. Definitely a rare find, one-of-a-kind.
