2 Deforest Rd

Originally built in 1726 by Jeremiah Mead on 30 acres for his new wife. The house was initially run as a tavern since it was well-situated between Wilton, New Canaan and Ridgefield. The main house has been expanded over the years, offering lots of light and openness, a feature rarely found in homes of this vintage. There are three staircases, a ground-floor bedroom with a full bath and four bedrooms upstairs with two baths. Situated on level land with a stone patio across the street from the Sackett Preserve and the Marble Van Haelewyn-Richards Preserve with over 77 acres of trails. Driving along Ridgefield Road, it is not uncommon to see large sunflowers or giant pumpkins along the property, depending on the season. A charming oasis with numerous spaces offering a diverse range of uses.
