TOP 10 THINGS WE'LL MISS ABOUT LIFE AT 535 HOYDENS ROAD

1. An absolutely private, peaceful and quiet place to live - that said, we

are five minutes from Black Rock Turnpike shopping and restaurants and

ten minutes from Main Street Fairfield.

2. Ninety seconds to Exit 44, Merritt Turnpike - but not a whisper of traffic noise,

ever.

3. Two minutes to Smith-Richardson Golf Course.

4. The property “wears” all the Connecticut seasons beautifully.

5. The property has a very spacious, both inside our home and without - the views
(valley and hills) are beautiful throughout the year.

6. The house was designed by CT architect Jim Thompson, based on the original

Robert AM Stern “Dream House” (http://www.ramsa.com/projects/project/life-

dream-house), and built by Maxwell Associates of Southport.

7. Wildlife abounds - white tail deer, rabbits, chipmunks, butterflies, fireflies,

robins, cardinals, red-tailed hawks, and the occasional fox or wild turkey all

make their appearances from time to time. The geography, landscape and

visiting critters give you a woodsy feel. On cue, a deer just ran past my window

as I’m typing, no kidding!

8. "The Barn”- built in 2003 as a post-corporate work retreat. It is a 1600 sf

(including loft) post and beam structure, doubled-wall with metal roof. Fully-

tempered, year-round space. It can be anything one envisions - currently
used as a photography, film and music studio - The Barn can easily become

your workshop, home office, artist’s atelier, yoga studio, party barn, book salon -

whatever you imagine.

9. For those who enjoy wine - a 400+ bottle custom-built, cedar wine room.

10. Did I say private and peaceful?
