33 Longate Rd Clinton, CT 06413

A very special Reproduction Saltbox lies on a kidney-shaped pond with only four other homes surrounding the pond. The home is located on a gentle hillside between the street and the pond. Behind the house at the edge of the pond is a private sandy beach bordered by an evergreen hedge. The pond is fed mainly by springs below the pond, is approximately 12 feet deep at it's center and provides a home to ducks, geese, turtles, shoreline birds, great blue heron and various freshwater fish. In the cold winters, the pond freezes solidly to provide ice-skating under the floodlight. The deck, patio and rear windows of the house provide a lovely park-like view of the pond and stunning sunsets. The property, to the east, is surrounded by Longate Rd, stone walls and flowering shrubs and trees. The main level of the home contains a formal living room with a graceful mantle and wood burning fireplace, formal dining room, large family room leading into the breakfast room and kitchen. Hardwood floors throughout the main level. You will also find a sunlit office area above the mudroom which opens to the deck overlooking the lawn and pond. In the lower level you will find a large living area, bar, laundry room and doors to walk out onto a level patio just steps away from the beach. Come see or take the virtual tour of this lovely home waiting for your personal touch!
