Step inside a Connecticut modern farmhouse with stunning waterfront views
This waterfront modern farmhouse was desgined by Cardello Architects together with Fletcher Custom Homes, nestled in Rowayton, a coastal village in the city of Norwalk, Connecticut. The narrow waterfront lot presented a design challenge. After looking at the home that used to occupy this lot, the most obvious design decision was to face the garage doors toward the street, but this parcel also included the rights to a side area that had been visually severed from the property.

Bears Call New Milford Home
A black bear has been making regular visits to a New Milford neighborhood, rummaging through trash cans and lounging in residents’ backyards. The bear, described by locals as a “repeat offender,” has been seen on Eden Lane about three to four times a month. While the bear has not shown aggression, residents are on alert. Across much of the state, as bear populations grow, these encounters are becoming more common.
