Welcome Home to Quiet Grandeur
Brooklyn’s energy is electric, but every family eventually craves a place where conversations don’t compete with traffic and children have room to run without looking over their shoulders. Maple Knoll Farm—an impeccably restored estate at 379 Hurlbutt Street, Wilton, CT—delivers that sanctuary. From the instant you arrive, the white-clapboard façade, columned portico, and dappled maple canopy signal a slower rhythm, one that invites you to exhale and stay a while.

A Move That Makes Sense for Brooklyn Families
You’ve mastered townhouse living, but bikes in hallways and city-parking gymnastics only work for so long. At Maple Knoll Farm, daily life expands across 4.2 private acres without sacrificing cosmopolitan comforts. Commute options keep Manhattan clients close, yet evenings now feature fireflies, not sirens. Weekend playdates migrate from crowded playgrounds to lawn games under century-old trees, and impromptu dinner parties spill onto a wrap-around porch made for conversation.
Estate at a Glance
A single-townhouse footprint simply can’t compete with an estate totaling 7,670 square feet of refined living space:
- Main House—5,670 sq ft with 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms (4 full, 2 half) plus a bright, 1.5-kitchen layout that keeps morning coffee and weekend feasts equally effortless.
- Guest House—1,750 sq ft offering a self-contained one-bed, one-bath apartment, full gym, and two-car garage—ideal for visiting grandparents, a live-in nanny, or creative studio.
- Pool House—250 sq ft pairing a kitchenette and full bath with the salt-water pool, so dripping swimsuits never cross your hardwood floors.
Altogether, 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and three kitchens ensure every generation (and every houseguest) enjoys their own retreat.
History Meets Modern Mastery
A 2024 full-exterior facelift refreshed every board and shutter, while the soul of the 1930s architecture remains intact—oak floors, stately fireplaces, and sun-splashed rooms that frame pastoral views. Behind the classic charm, you’ll find Control4 whole-home automation, two blazing-fast fiber hubs, and Marantz surround sound on the first floor. It feels like a page from Connecticut history, yet functions like tomorrow’s smart home.
Upgrades That Matter—Not Just Marble Countertops
Recent owners invested where it counts for long-term comfort:
- Hydrawise WiFi irrigation blankets 40 zones to keep lawns lush while you’re away in Montauk.
- A Generac generator powers both houses during outages; Sense and Ting monitors track device-level usage so surprise utility bills disappear.
- Ring doorbells, Lorex cameras, and Alarm.com monitoring secure every entry.
- New refrigerator, washer-dryer pair, and LiftMaster garage opener simplify the unseen chores.
- Wellness upgrades shine, too: a ClearLight infrared sauna joins the steam shower and hot tub, turning cold-weather evenings into spa nights at home.
Grounds Designed for Memory-Making
Four lush acres unfold like your family’s personal park. Children sprint across level meadow before cannon-balling into the heated pool. Gardeners cultivate raised beds steps from the kitchen. Evenings end with neighbors gathered around a stone fire-pit under skies clear enough to actually see stars. The original barn begs to become an artist’s loft or bourbon-tasting room, and an adjacent 2.87-acre parcel—available separately—lets you imagine tennis courts, a second residence, or a wedding-worthy event lawn.

Wilton: Connecticut’s Best-Kept Creative Secret
Wilton marries country charm with cultural depth—think blue-ribbon schools, indie coffee roasters, and town concerts on the green. A five-minute drive reaches the Metro-North station; an hour later you can be back in Dumbo for a gallery opening. Yet each return up Hurlbutt Street feels like crossing a peaceful threshold, the perfect counterbalance to city ambition.
