About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to this incredibly well-built 3-bedroom, 3-bath home, crafted in 2001 by a respected local builder as his personal residence. Set on 1.91 peaceful acres, bordered on three sides by the Litchfield Land Trust, this property offers privacy, serene pond views, and a connection to nature that's hard to find. Step inside to an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area bathed in beautiful western light. The spacious living room features a cozy fireplace with built-ins and large double sliding doors that lead to a mahogany deck with a screened-in porch. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, complete with French doors opening to a private balcony, a large walk-through closet, and a full en-suite bath. An additional first-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath, plus a dedicated dining/living area, provides flexible space for family or guests. This room can easily be converted to an additional bedroom. The walk-out lower level adds even more versatility with a third bedroom, a full bath, a workshop area, and a large recreation room that can easily be finished for additional living space. Additional features include a mudroom entry from the attached two-car garage, a separate garage for extra storage, a Buderus oil furnace, and central air for year-round comfort. Nestled on a quiet country road, this home offers the perfect blend of quality craftsmanship, peaceful surroundings, and convenient living.
