“

From 1971 to 2021, the number of people living in multigenerational households quadrupled,” according to a March 2022 Pew Research Center report. “The share of the U.S. population in multigenerational homes has more than doubled, from 7% in 1971 to 18% in 2021,” the study concluded. continue Multigeneration on page 34

Local Realtors provided a few of the recently completed and to-be-built homes across the county, to give buyers some ideas of the new possibilities awaiting them.

Construction was completed this year on 261 Cognewaugh Road in Greenwich’s Cos

Cob community. This five-bedroom contemporary home is situated on 1.01 acres of level, landscaped land. The 6,900 square feet of interior space is bright and airy, with high ceilings, lightly finished hardwood floors, and sophisticated entertaining spaces, served by a eat-in chef’s kitchen.

Gloria Falcon and Berkshire Hathaway Home Services New England Properties’ brokerage in Greenwich represents the seller. “This high-end brand-new home—filled with natural light, high ceilings and stunning finishes—features an open floor plan, with great flow for everyday living and entertaining,” Falcon said. “The dramatic family room, with a soaring beamed ceiling and fireplace, opens to the flagstone patio and outdoor fireplace.”

“The house is on 1 acre, and buyers coming to the suburbs appreciate having more land,” Falcon suggested. “The location, right off Mimosa, gives you easy access…with privacy and peace,butstillseven-to10-minutesawayfrom everything.” 261 Cognewaugh Road is offered to the market for $4.1 million. Earnest luxury-market buyers may appreciate that there’s already town approval for a future pool site.

Overlooking Five Mile River, at 87 Lambert Road in New Canaan, is a 2.75-acre setting that will be the future home for a brandnewtransitionalfarmhouse-styleluxuryhome. Eliza Stichter and Regi vanderHeyden—the vanderHeyden Stichter Team at William Raveis Real Estate—are the listing agents.

inch of their home with the highest degree of craftsmanship. Building a custom home with a renowned firm like Coastal Construction allows you to do exactly that — whether that means two offices in a home, a world-class gym, window-wall doors, you name it, the list goes on. But the point here is that people want what they want. To start, airy open spaces with soaring windows that are then paired with a growing desire for the more practical new and green, sustainable materials now used in the building process. Then on to remarkable finishes!”

plary craftsmanship. “This impressive new build awaits the most discerning buyer, and allows endless opportunity to build the home you’ve always wanted, nestled on a simply breathtaking parcel, on one of the most beautiful tracts of land with an incredibly convenient and coveted location that New Canaan has to offer,” vanderHeyden suggested. The asking price is $5.495 million.

“The market for new construction is more vibrant than ever in Fairfield County, Realtor Jaime Sneddon reported. “It’s true that supply chain disruption, demand for labor, and higher land prices has made building new homes more time consuming and much more expensive. For that reason, many developers slowed down or stopped building new homes, making their supply even more scarce, which has driven up demand for them and consequently prices.”

Jaime Sneddon and Kendall Sneddon of William Pitt Sotheby’s New Canaan brokerage are the listing agents for 49 Tobys Ln., New Canaan. This property, listed for $4.495 million, also represents an opportunity for the buyer to custom-build a five-bedroom, roughly 6,000-square-foot home on 2.22 acres.

A pillar of strength,light and happiness

Julie Peters

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Julie Peters Julie will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

Julie was the managing broker of the Coldwell Banker Greenwich and Old Greenwich offices.She most recently served as a member of the Multiple Listing Service Committee for Greenwich Association of Realtors & Greenwich Multiple Listing Service,and has volunteered many years of service to the Connecticut Association of REALTORS® and the Darien Board of REALTORS® where she served as local President from 2019-2020 and was named Darien Board of REALTORS® Realtor of the Year in 2020

Julie was a born leader, a natural negotiator,a fierce partner with any racquet,a gifted seamstress and a very trusted friend.She had no limits to what she could accomplish and she had a natural ability to do it all with compassion,style and that oh so beautiful smile

She was a pillar of strength, light and happiness in this uncertain world and we will honor her memory moving forward.

New Construction from page 15

The lot is part of a cul-de-sac community, and plans for the home can be brought to life by within a 12-month timeframe, according to the developer and builder, Chris Bunici of Woodcrest Homes. He’s assembled a team for the project that includes the architectural firm, Dennis Peters Designs; Interior Designer Tara Coniglio of the Haley Design Company; and an internal landscaping design team.

The newly constructed home will feature 10-foot ceilings, high-quality windows and doors, open-concept living, custom cabinetry and designer fixtures.

“And energy costs are dramatically lower, due to ultra-high efficiency gas-fired heating and cooling systems,” Sneddon noted. “And new homes require no updating or improvement costs or hassles for the first eight to 10 years of ownership, so why would anyone buy an old house?”

Construction is underway at 15 Burr Farms Road in Westport’s Long Lots neighborhood. This contemporary-inspired colonial home is sited on a level 1-acre lot that listing Realtor Judy Michaelis of Coldwell Banker Realty describes as:

Architect Michael Smith designed the home, and Fairfield County Contractors is building it.

Michaelis,whotransactsinalotofamazingproperties,cited a few attributes that stand out to her here, including how the house is situated on the lot. “Of course, high ceilings and big windows, beautiful wide-plank floors, and custom millwork all add to the wonderful feeling you get when you walk into one of the Fairfield County Builder homes,” she added.

“[Buyers] will love the vibrancy of Westport—all the fabulous restaurants, the beach, shopping, gyms. … There is something for everyone in Westport,” the listing agent said. According to Michaelis, construction should be complete this summer. The seller is asking $4,999,999 for the Westport property.

There are a number of factors that likely contributed to that growth—cultural norms, practicality, economic pressures, aginggenerations,andmorerecently,theimpactoftheCOVID-19 pandemic, which inspired many families to reconsider how they wish to live and with whom. For so many families today, having loved ones close is what makes the house a home.

With the growing need to house more than one generation of a family in a single home or a compound, finding a perfectly suited property is an increasing concern for many families throughout Connecticut. Fortunately, across Fairfield County, these types of homes are poised to accommodate.

Take,forexample,thebeautifulcompoundat47CharcoalHill Road in Westport, a two-parcel property comprising a six-bedroom, 11,000-square-foot main house—a stone “castle”—with a pool house, a wealth of amenities, and a caretaker’s cottage. The combined property is currently listed for $12.5 million by the Meredith Cohen Team at William Raveis Real Estate in Westport.

The entire family is sure to enjoy the “private island” setting at 140 Wallacks Drive in Stamford. It’s a waterfront compound with a English manor-styled main house that dates to 1909, complemented by a three-bedroom guest cottage, a carriage house with two apartments, garaging for up to eight cars, a greenhouse, entertaining terraces, even a koi pond. The Caritas Island compound is on the market for $7.995 million, listed by Nancy Dauk, a Realtor with Brown Harris Stevens’ brokerage.

Sotheby’s Realtor Krissy Blake is serving as the listing agent for two remarkable properties in Fairfield County—each with special appeal for equestrian-enthusiast buyers considering multigenerational living. First, there’s 200 Bedford Road in Green-

“200 Bedford Road is an ideal family compound,” Blake suggested. With the long list of sought-after amenities, she added, “There is always something to do.” Plus, there are all of Greenwich’s town amenities to enjoy, as well—world-class shopping, a bright culinary scene, beaches and parks. The asking price is $4.995 million.

Blake is also the listing agent for 7-11 Old Stagecoach Road in Ridgefield, listed for $28 million. It, too, is a unique equestrian compound on 87 acres. In addition to the four-story primary residence, the property affords to additional homes on site, staff apartments, two equestrian barns, a party barn, pool, tennis court and riding rings. It has been “meticulously maintained to the highest standards,” according to Blake.

The property’s owner made a number of recent improvements.“Themainlowerbarn,with20stalls,hasjustundergone a major renovation, including the second-floor apartments for staff, and the party barn. Large windows were installed around the entire indoor ring,” Blake noted.

“It is ideal for a multigenerational living arrangement,” Blake remarked. “That is how this property was designed and has been used by these owners.” She described the charming appeal of Ridgefield, with its historic district, popular restaurants, farms and cultural institutions, like the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, the Ridgefield Playhouse and the Weir Farm National Historic Site.

LIVING CONDO CHIC

Condominiums remain popular options for Fairfield County buyers in search of homes with perhaps lesser carbon footprints, fewer bedrooms than single-family alternatives, hassle-free landscaping maintenance, security, shared amenities, and a “built-in” sense of community. Today, these same buyers need not sacrifice style for any of these wish-list items.

Condominium Buyers Searching in Fairfield County Need Not Sacrifice Style for Smaller Square Footage

BYGRETCHENA.PECK

In fact, a late-January search across the county, for charming or chic condominiums currently for sale, turned up quite a few opportunities. The following homes represent just a few options for buyers.

Realtor Sarah Goulart, with Coldwell Banker’s Trumbull brokerage, is the listing agent for 15 Perry Ave., Apt. D11, Norwalk. “This particular condo is a tastefully renovat-

ed two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse, with an additional loft space and garage,” Goulart explained. Offered to a buyer for $385,000, this townhome has a number of recent improvements, including a new kitchen, with stainless appliances and granite countertops. The bathrooms have been renovated, and there are new floors and lighting throughout the home, as well.

“The bedrooms are large, with vaulted ceilings, and the third-floor loft, accessible from a spiral staircase in the hallway, is currently used as an office,” Goulart explained. “They also have two decks—one off the living room and one off the primary bedroom, overlooking a quiet, wooded walkway along the river. The walkway is for the residents of the complex.

“These condos are in the Silvermine section of Norwalk, overlooking Deer Pond and the Norwalk River. It is a small complex with just 52 units, located minutes from all the major highways, shopping, and office buildings, but still tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of Main Avenue,” Goulart added.

Located in the Bishop Meadows Association, Unit 53 at 202 Soundview Avenue in Stamford is a unique condominium, with all the perks of condo living, yet the feel of a single-family home. This is a three-bedroom standalone townhouse, with three levels of living space. It has been newly renovated and freshly painted, according to Janice Mattioli and Pete Rosato, Realtors with Coldwell Banker who are serving as the listing agents. The seller is asking $525,000.

This 2,603-square-foot home has new LED lighting throughout, gleaming hardwood floors, a brick-surround fireplace and a private deck. The association manages nearly six acres, with 18 similar free-standing units, 34 attached townhomes and 12 apartments rounding out the community. An historic farmhouse has been “upcycled” to serve as the association’s charming clubhouse, and residents enjoy access to shared amenities, including a swimming pool and sauna.

At 312 Elm St., Apt. 6, New Canaan, there is a brilliant and bright condominium on the market for $1.3 million. Listed by Carol Hollyday and William Pitt Sotheby’s International in New Canaan, this three-bedroom brick townhouse is part of the Prides Crossing community, located minutes from the town center, the train station and area parks. The three-level home has 2,820 square feet of living space, with an eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry, living and dining rooms that open out to a brick patio and garden, a lower-level family room, and home office space. Residents enjoy an association-maintained pool and clubhouse.

Hassle-free maintenance, security, amenities, and a "BUILT-IN" community.
