AN INTERVIEW WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ...

JIM AND SHERRY KENTON
PROUD HOMEOWNERS OF
405 QUEENS GRANT ROAD
SINCE 1997

WHAT MADE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH 405 QUEENS GRANT ROAD?
We relocated to Connecticut just before our first child was born. We were
searching for a home where children could freely play outdoors and grow up in a
neighborhood like we remember. We love the fact that Queens Grant Road is in a
“true” neighborhood and not a through street. We love the openness of the first floor
and the privacy each room provides on the second level. Our out of town guests also
have a great room of their own when visiting.

TELL US ABOUT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ...
Our neighborhood uses the school feeder system of Timothy Dwight Elementary
School, Roger Ludlowe Middle School and Fairfield Ludlowe High School. Bus
service is provided for each within the neighborhood, but they are close enough
to drive to when staying for extra-curricular activities. Dwight Elementary received
National recognition as a Blue Ribbon school in 2012. In addition, there are
prominent private school options for each of the grade levels.

WHY ARE YOU MOVING?

Our children have grown up and we are about to become empty nesters. It is time
for us to downsize. We have many wonderful memories of our children growing
up in this home and having such fun in and around the yard and neighborhood.
We hope that the new owners will enjoy it as much as we have.

WILL YOU MISS THE NEIGHBORHOOD?

Yes. We have known most of the families since we moved in. Queens Grant
Road continues to be a very friendly mix of young families, older families, empty
nesters, young children, and teenagers.

TELL US ABOUT THE GROUNDS ...

Our property was professionally landscaped after we moved in, including the
stone terrace and full sprinkler system. We have many mature plantings that
offer privacy and four-season interest. The beds pop with bulbs in the Spring and
thereafter many perennial plantings and natural grasses add color and interest. We
enjoy our organic vegetable garden, which provides a bounty of fresh produce for
most of the year.

WHAT MAKES YOUR LOT SO SPECIAL?

It is a peaceful, private space that is beautiful year-round. There is also plenty of room for
gatherings and cookouts, and yard games galore. The level yard is versatile enough for the future
addition of a pool, sport court or tennis court without cramping the openness of the property.
