32 Portland Dr Ashford, CT 06278

32 Portland Drive Ashford is a custom-built, owner-built home set on 6+ park-like acres, with a pond on the property and river frontage on the Mount Hope River. A lengthy driveway leads to the private grounds set on a quiet street in bucolic Ashford. Enter the home and stand in the foyer with 20-foot ceilings, then take in the full view of the combined kitchen-dining-living room -- if you can take your eyes from the view overlooking the grounds and distant hillsides. Granite counters and modern appliances are featured in the kitchen, along with a convenient half-bath and laundry room and exit to the two-car, two-story garage. The master bedroom suite includes two walk-in closets, a jet tub, and shower. A first floor bedroom could serve as an office. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, a full and over-sized bathroom between them, and a sitting area. The full basement is partially finished and has a workshop with a garage door and a walkout door. The deck overlooks the valley and is partially covered. The grounds are a delight for all tastes. A flat field includes blueberry bushes and fruit trees. The pond has a small beach and a dock. A trail leads to the stocked river. An additional shed has the capability for running water and electricity. In sum, 32 Portland is stunning and spectacular, yet simple in its presentation. Rural Ashford is proximate to UConn, Providence, Hartford, Putnam, Worcester, and Willimantic for shopping and entertainment.
