nown to locals as “The Haunted Ink Bottle,” it hints at tales of a vibrant past, but the familiar name of this stately home is simply what the previous owner, a Joyce scholar, christened it after a house in Finnegans Wake. Situated on the corner of Cedar Road, it’s the address that provides the best clue to its true provenance—this New England antique was a former cedar tree farm. The original barn had been relocated and connected to the home creating a unique expansion that was refurbished in the 1970s. Recently, the fully fortified barn was spectacularly renovated into a series of open rooms reminiscent of a Manhattan entertainment loft. Parties at this recognized Wilton landmark are a uniquely chic CT event.
