The Rowayton Residence
Perks for the Parents
A stunning New England home in the coastal town of Rowayton, with beautiful elegant interiors and a private pool in the backyard. It sleeps 9. The property is well set-up for a family stay with a full kitchen and dining table, as well as a separate large dining room for special family occasions. (There’s a gourmet grocery store just down the street to help with cooking family meals, too). Along with the stylish and private master bedroom for parents, you’ll also have a separate bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub so you can escape from the family for a moment of peace and calm. For parents traveling with a nanny or au pair, there’s also an additional single bedroom.
Why Kids Love it
The house has a mud room that doubles as a play room, as well as plenty of toys and books in the family room so your kids will love discovering all the play things on offer. Outdoors they’ll spend hours in the heated pool, playing with the basketball hoop or riding on the many electric kid vehicles that are provided to help them zoom around and explore the property. For rainy-day trips, you can visit Stepping Stones Museum for Children or the Maritime Aquarium, both just 10 minutes’ drive at Norwalk.

About the Location
The house is located in the coastal town of Rowayton, approximately 1 hour from New York City. You can walk from the train station to the house and it’s just a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk to the beach. Nearby you'll find farmers markets, playgrounds, beach concerts and child-friendly cafes. At the far end of the street you’ll find a pizza place and community beach, or you can head on to the sandy shores of Bayley Beach where there’s a playground, sports courts and a lifeguard in the summer. Check out Arden's for a family brunch, Rowayton Seafood for a date night, and Rowayton Market for provisions and a beach picnic/takeaway lunch.

Style Notes
Quintessential New England home. The house feels bright, light and meticulously decorated by interior designers to create a fresh and welcoming feel. The home has the perfect blend of comfort and style - ideal for families. French doors lead to the manicured backyard pool area, which is also equipped with a BBQ and dining table. We love the original windows with classic wooden shutters, the beautiful fireplaces and the gloriously grand staircase.
