On the market: Charming antique

Located in the heart of the Silvermine district, the charming antique home at 960 Silvermine Road in New Canaan offers a rustic retreat in a sought-after part of town.

Built in 1850, the property was updated in 2007 in a way to seamlessly blend together the old with the new.

Through the mudroom, which features heated floors, and a custom-built cabinetry perfect for organizing everyday necessities, you walk up a half-flight of stairs into the family room and immediately fall in love with the charm of the home's first living space.

Featuring a wood-burning fireplace, rich espresso-colored wide plank floors and exposed wooden beams, the home has the characteristics of one built in the early 1900s.

The living room is open to the large kitchen, which includes an L-shaped island that adds functional everyday seating, a cozy breakfast nook with French doors opening to the patio and beautiful custom cabinetry.

Appliances include a four-burner range, oven and built-in refrigerator, all by Kitchen Aid, and a Miele dishwasher.

The kitchen features a dry bar as well as a desk area in its convenient layout.

Off the kitchen is a laundry room featuring slate floors, a built-in drying rack and a farmhouse sink.

The kitchen has two separate entryways into the home's formal dining room, which features vaulted a ceiling and additional exposed wooden beams.

There is a large connecting sunroom that leads to a beautiful guest suite that easily could pass for a master on one side and a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace on the other.
