Sure, working in the concrete jungle that is New York City can make you feel suffocated sometimes. The towering high-rises and crowded cityscape can make you feel trapped in a cage of steel and glass. Fortunately, there is a little slice of rural comfort within the outskirts of New York. In Fairfield County, for example, you can find:
A yellow Antique Colonial house on Kings Highway North in the Old Hill neighborhood fits that bill. It is within easy walking distance to the Post Road (Route 1) and Kings Highway Elementary School, which has a running track, four tennis courts and playing fields that can be used by the public. Hiking trails are also available in the Earthplace nature center less than a mile away. The house is also on a Westport Transit minibus route to the Saugatuck train station, with a stop just two houses away.
