11 Abbotts Lane

This quintessential custom colonial home sits quietly on 1.9 acres near the back of a private lane. The charm and character convey a New England kindness that is very welcoming. Designed by renowned Westport architect Peter Cadoux in 2003, and updated by award winning decorator Heidi Holzer in 2019, this home exudes warmth through its beautiful architecture, hidden treasures, perfectly placed wainscoting, and six fireplaces that span the abode. The home boasts 6,131 square feet, with five bedrooms and 4 ½ baths. The Master Bedroom offers high ceilings with a refrigerator and fireplace, and a spacious adjacent Dressing Room. The Home Office overlooks the pool and pond, and a hidden bookshelf door opens to a spiral staircase that descends to the custom-designed walk-in Wine Cellar, lined with impeccable brick work and custom mahogany wine racks. Even a professional chef would cherish this Kitchen. Subzero Refrigerators and Wolf Cooktop, extensive marble counters, custom cabinetry, a Butler’s Panty with Warming Stove, a walk-in pantry and two dishwashers. The surrounding gardens and outdoor space are equally magical. These include a spacious pool, spa and outdoor shower surrounded by specimen trees, grasses and flowers. And the English gardens and stonework surrounding the property are tasteful and bountiful, with a lush and expansive lawn extending to a large and prospering pond, where Great Blue Heron fish for carp. This property will feel like you’ve come home!
