Another success story from Jennifer Young Homes! We worked with the seller of this stunning Wilton Woods property a full year in advance—planning, preparing, and managing every detail to ensure a smooth and successful sale. Set on a lush .38-acre lot backing to serene woodlands, this thoughtfully expanded 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offered over 3,400 square feet of beautifully updated living space, including a chef’s kitchen, sunroom, cathedral ceilings, luxurious primary suite, and incredible outdoor entertaining areas with two decks, a pergola, and vibrant landscaping.
