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.

Milgard unveiled two new offerings within its Moving Glass Wall Systems today. Consumers will now have the choice of Bi-Fold and Pocket operating styles in addition to the existing Stacking option when they consider Moving Glass Wall Systems.
In July 2013, Milgard launched Moving Glass Wall Systems, a glass wall system available in standard sizes, making the option more obtainable to a wider range of homeowners. Compared to custom-sized glass walls, Milgard Moving Glass Wall Systems are also more affordable.
Now, Milgard responds to demand for more glass wall options as consumers increasingly look to integrate indoor-outdoor living in their homes.
The demand for Moving Glass Wall Systems is only picking up momentum, and consumers are continuing to look for innovative ways to find the useable square footage in a smaller footprint, said Keith Dashofy, product manager of the Moving Glass Wall Systems. With the expansion of our Moving Glass Wall System to include Stacking, Pocketing and Bi Fold door operations, consumers now have multiple choices when it comes to unlocking these spaces that create a healthy and inspirational environment for the generations to come.
The line extension provides consumers alternatives to accomplish distinct design effects. The Bi-Fold option employs a bottom loaded operation which eliminates the need for a structural header. Large glass panels are connected by hinges and each panel simply folds on top of the adjacent panel to open.
Pocket doors take up less room because when fully open, the glass panels slide into the wall and completely disappear from view. Because of this operation feature, pocketing panels add more floor space than hinged panels.
With Moving Glass Wall Systems, homeowners can enjoy a seamless transition from room to room or close off areas just as easily. Since large glass walls are often built into high-end houses, the product adds a touch of luxury to any home.
Milgard Moving Glass Wall Systems are available in several stock finishes including white, dark bronze anodized aluminum and Aluminum Clad Wood with Clear Vertical Grain Douglas Fir and Pine. All aluminum frames are thermally broken for improved energy efficiency.
About Milgard Windows & Doors Milgard Windows & Doors, a Masco company based in Tacoma, Washington, offers a full line of vinyl, wood, fiberglass and aluminum windows and patio doors for builders, dealers and homeowners, all backed by a Full Lifetime Warranty, including parts and labor. The company has been recognized for manufacturing the nations highest quality vinyl windows eight times in a yearly survey sponsored by Hanley-Wood Inc., publishers of BUILDER Magazine.

After one of the hardest winters in recent history, most homeowners are daydreaming about a day at the beach, rather than pushing a broom or pulling a rake. But theres still a long list of necessary cleaning chores around the ole homestead.
What if you could knock off 85 percent of the dirt thats tracked, blown or carried into the house through common entry points? These entry points include the front and rear doors, garage, patio or deck. What if this continuous flow of dirt could be blocked by creating a clean zone around the perimeter of the house, reducing the amount of dirt that gets inside?
In fact, there is a way. By using the WORX AIR blower/sweeper attachments, the homeowner can remove dust, dirt and debris from the front entryway, patio, deck and garage in rapid succession. Then, in no-time flat, those inner tubes and other inflatables can be filled with air, and the family is off to the beach.
All eight AIR attachments are included with the WORX 20V and 32V MAXLithium Blower/Sweeper models. They can be used singly or in combination for a number of cleaning, clearing, inflating and deflating applications.
For instance, the AIR Wand serves as an air broom to clear dust and debris. It also is handy for drying cars, windshields, patio sliding glass doors, window frames and other flat areas.
The AIR Dust Brush is a 90 extension wand with a brush that removes cobwebs, clears out sliding door and window frame tracks and cleans recessed and hard-to-reach areas in RVs, vans, boat hulls and more.
Designed for quick cleanups, the AIR Compact Tube delivers a concentrated blast to clear out dust and debris from campers, cabin tents, picnic table tops, screened-in porches, patio steps, garage floors and more.
The AIR Extension Hose with AIR Detail Nozzle attached is intended for sensitive dust clearing.
Switch to the Inflator Nozzle for inflating beach rafts, inner tubes, air mattresses and other large inflatables. The AIR Deflation Cover and Nozzle deflates inflatables for storage and easy transport.

Red looks like any other two year old dog but the hitch in his-get-a-long and scars under his slowly growing fur tells another story that started six months ago.
In October, Plano Animal Services responded to a cruelty complaint and found Red on the balcony of a second story apartment.
Animal Services Manager Jamey Cantrell said Red was as close to death as you can get.
He looked like a skeleton that had some red fur pulled over it, Cantrell recalled. It was like looking at an x-ray of a dog it really what it looked like.
Red had been left on the balcony to slowly starveone photograph tells a terrible story.
If you look closely at the pictures youll actually see one of the doors back behind him where hes pulled the wood off, Cantrell explained. He was actually eating the wood to survive.
Reds malnourished bones and joints needed surgerypaid for by citizen donations.
Animal Services Officer Kendra Hamilton was there the day red was rescued. It was love at first sight.
Kendra shot home video of her and Red playing and now after six long months of rehab Red is ready for adoption.
For Kendra is will be one of the greatest, saddest days ever.
