ESPN SportsCenter’s Scott Van Pelt listed his picture-perfect Connecticut home this spring with an asking price of $1.875 million. The 8,800 square-footer was constructed in 2013, and designed squarely in the Colonial style; as part and parcel of the rolling Fairfield County landscape, it fits right in.
The house also sits on a lot of over two acres. The grounds are wooded, with a ha-ha splitting the home from a large swath of lawn that rolls down to a wooded perimeter streetside, and tiered landscaping on the hillside above.
The home’s interiors are staunchly traditional, with soft cool and warm tones against off-white, mid-toned oak floors, and a mix of light fixtures that covers a great deal of stylistic territory. There are six bedrooms and seven baths, with the master bedroom featuring soft gray walls and a fireplace with a neoclassical mantel, and the master bath finished in a pleasing blend of natural stone.
The family room boasts a pair of skylights illuminating a blazing white room grounded by oak plank, and the layout sneaks an entertainment and media room with a wet bar into the basement. Other standout spaces include the kitchen, which incorporates a dayroom with a milk glass double pendant, and is completed in pastel beige.
