“HOMEWOOD” – This remarkable country compound is one of the precious few 18th/19th century shingle style colonial revival estates remaining in Fairfield County. Dating back to 1750, the original pre-revolutionary war home captivated the attention of prominent NYC banker, George Haven, who purchased the home in 1890 and expanded it significantly including a glorious 50 foot ballroom designed by Elsie de Wolfe, 19th century designer, rivaling the best of her work in NYC. Today, after $2 million dollars of extensive and thoughtful updates over the past decade, Homewood is unparalleled in its historical detail and state-of-the-art features. Total 12,853 square feet on 3 levels with 20+ rooms, 13 original fireplaces, 8+ bedrooms, 7/2 baths; pool house with kitchen, full bath, and changing rooms; heated gunite pool and spa; 3 carriage style garages with porte-cochere; multiple porches/terraces; set on 3.22 manicured and level acres.
