About This Home

Escape the pace of everyday life and embrace the beauty of country living in this spacious contemporary home, perfectly situated abutting conserved land with exceptional recreational amenities. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home features an open-concept floor plan designed for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining. The sunken living room is anchored by an elegant gas fireplace and enhanced by soaring ceilings and hardwood floors, while a bright sitting room with walls of windows overlooks the spectacular grounds and fills the home with natural light. The second floor hosts a generous primary suite with a bath featuring double sinks, an oversized whirlpool tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. The walk-out lower level offers a fourth bedroom and full bath, a spacious media/game room, abundant storage, and potential for a bunk room or additional recreational space. Step outside to a stone terrace with a relaxing Jacuzzi, creating the perfect setting for unwinding after a day on the lake or skiing at nearby Mohawk Mountain. Outside, the expansive level lawn provides plenty of room for play, while the beautiful heated Gunite pool serves as the centerpiece for summer entertaining. There is also a shaded half size basketball court. The land has additional building lot in the total acreage. The property is part of the exclusive Spectacle Ridge Association, a lakeside community of approximately 20 families sharing access to the 85 acre South Spectacle Lake. Just a short, level walk across the street members enjoy 2 tennis courts, clubhouse with ping pong and screened porch, kayaks and small boats. The lake is spring fed and provides great fishing for bass, yellow perch, and sunfish. A rare opportunity to enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle with resort-style amenities right outside your door. Just minutes to the towns of Kent and Warren with chic shops and fine dining. Plenty of land trust trails nearby for hiking. Great proximity to Bulls Bridge Golf Club and Lake Waramaug Country Club. Pool is 18x40 and was installed by Dobson Pools in 2008. Assessment, acreage and yearly taxes reflect 2 lots. House lot = 9.55 acres, tax amount @ $14,014. Land = 5.38 acres, Tax amount @ $1,577.
