Poised on a knoll overlooking the Connecticut Golf Club, the Wheeler House has been impeccably modernized while maintaining its quintessential New England character. Surrounded by three pristine acres and flanked by mature trees, enjoy unmatched privacy and close to 300 years of history at this storied home.

Large original fireplaces warm your evenings and create a dazzling backdrop for entertaining. Bathed in natural sunlight, the eat-in chef's kitchen features high-end appliances including a JennAir Smoke & Brass professional range and a butler's pantry. Dutch doors open to the stone terrace overlooking the 15th hole fairway, offering the perfect location for outdoor living and dining. Five bedrooms fill the second level, featuring exposed wood beams, an additional fireplace and custom built-ins. The luxurious primary suite features a spa bath with a freestanding slipper tub, a well-appointed sitting room, dressing area and a private balcony made for enjoying a glass of wine under the stars. A spacious bonus room with a full bath over the three-car garage could house a gym, home office, or studio. Minutes from award-winning schools and local farms, enjoy the best of country living at this exquisite home.
