TOP 10 THINGS WE'LL MISS ABOUT LIFE AT 130 FREEBORN ROAD
1. Living across the street from Trout Brook Valley Conservation Area, over
100 acres of hiking, biking, horseback riding and cross country skiing are right
at our finger tips. We have enjoyed many hikes as a family, our dog included.
2. There are incredible organic farms in Easton just a few minutes in any
directions. Local dairy, meat, eggs, honey, herbs and vegetables, just to name a few.
3. The seasonal changes in our yard, especially the fenced in herb and flower
garden. Our property is truly glorious in every season, whether it be a blanket of
snow, the flowers of spring or the gorgeous leaves as they change colors in fall.
4. Our neighbors and neighborhood. Even though we are on 3 acre lots surrounded
by the conservation area and privacy, there is plenty of neighborhood spirit and
comradery and good families to raise children alongside.
5. We have easy access to both the Fairfield and Westport train stations due to our
location in Lower Easton. Commuting has never been a problem and the Merritt
parkway is just a few minutes away, and 95 isn’t that much farther.
6. Shopping and restaurants throughout Westport and Fairfield are right around
the corner. It is so lovely to live in a small town, yet so close to upscale stores and
award winning restaurants, not to mention the beaches of both towns.
7. The Easton Village store! A staple in our community with all the charm and
character of a country store with a large home cooked menu and a meeting point
for a coffee and a conversation any day of the week for families, friends and
visitors to own town.
8. The curb appeal. We get complimented so often, people know our home and
always love to ask about it. We never tire of pulling into the driveway. It is a special
place and we believe captures people even from the road.
9. The local wildlife… seeing a rare butterfly or hummingbird. The bird population
is magnificent … a bird watchers dream … with rare species often spotted. We feel
very at one with nature at our home.
10. The features that give our home all of it’s character … beamed ceilings, old barn
wainscoting, wide plank hardwood floors, period fixtures, hand sewn cedar siding and
wood cedar roof, the gardens (a gardener’s dream come true!), the fireplaces and the
warmth that it exudes.
