The three additional bedrooms, all with hardwood floors and ample closets, share a hallway full bath.

The first floor has a formal living room and dining room as well a more informal family room with a wood burning fireplace and French doors to the secluded rear deck, a large eat-in kitchen and convenient powder room. Upstairs you will be pleasantly surprised to find a spacious primary bedroom with a private en suite bathroom and walk-in closet, three additional bedrooms and another full bath~and somehow, plenty of closet space to boot! The basement adds 350 sq ft of unheated, finished space~perfect for a playroom or home gym~and an unfinished portion for storage and the mechanicals. More storage can be found in the oversized, attached two car garage and garden shed.

There is so much to love about this home! From the stately appearance of this four bedroom colonial, sited behind a stonewall and surrounded by beautiful perennial beds, mature trees, and lush lawn to the cul-de-sac neighborhood of well-maintained homes with easy access to open space and CT State Forest. And that is just the outside! Step inside the large entry foyer and you will find a pleasing layout with subtle features that give it a uniqueness, setting it apart from those other cookie cutter colonials. On the first floor, take note of the Inlay floors, a step down family room with gas fireplace, the pocket French doors in the living room, the oversized pantry in the oversized kitchen and gracious dining room with ceiling medallion. Ascend the stairs to the large landing with one of the two palladium windows you will find in the home. The other is in the spacious primary suite with multiple closets, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and full bath complete with double sinks, whirlpool bath and separate shower. Clever pocket doors hide the laundry area accessed either from the hallway or the primary suite. Three additional, good size bedrooms and a full bath complete this floor. The walk-up attic is so convenient and could be easily converted into living space if desired. There is additional storage in the full basement and the oversized two car garage. When both the inside and outside are so delightful, you know you have found the perfect place to call home!
