WILTON — This year the region just may have a white Christmas for the first time in years. When the weather is cold enough to bring snow. it is often cold enough for local waterways to freeze.

The 3.39-acre property at 14 Nutmeg Lane has a private pond that residents use for ice skating and hockey in winter months. Come summer, residents paddleboard and canoe on the pond, which is stocked with koi. There are plenty of other recreational opportunities nearby. This cedar clapboard colonial farmhouse is quite close to the municipally-owned Linden Tree Road Open Space and Vista Road Open Space. The latter has 36 acres with scenic trails for hiking and horseback riding. Linden Tree Road Open Space is partly in Wilton and crosses into New York. Its Kent Pond is a popular spot for ice skaters if they ever get tired of their own pond.

On the front façade of this 5,590-square-foot house there is a large wrap-around covered and colonnaded front porch that is as inviting to the front yard as the pond is in the backyard. The 12-room house was built in 1974 on a cul-de-sac in the northern part of town near Keeler’s Ridge, and it exudes a mix of classic and country charm while offering the amenities for everyday living today. And, this is a great house for entertaining as well.

The front door is framed with sidelights and a transom and it opens into a large foyer with a woven sea grass wallcovering, half bath, a coat closet, and a side door to the front porch. Inside, there is a contemporary open floor plan. The doorways into the formal dining and living rooms have columns, and the living room has a wood-burning fireplace.

The gourmet eat-in kitchen has a center island with a breakfast bar, floating cabinets with glass doors, granite counters, a farm sink, and a ceramic tile floor. Pendant lights hang above the island. High-end appliances include a gas range and two dishwashers. Open to the kitchen is a large breakfast room with French doors to the rear patio.
