About This Home

As of September 2025

This exceptional Contemporary residence offers luxury, privacy, and seasonal beauty in equal measure. Nestled on 1.72 acres in a quiet Middletown enclave, the home showcases a masterful blend of natural light, thoughtful design, and refined detail. The dramatic two-story foyer, 9' ceilings, and oversized windows create a sun-drenched, elegant atmosphere. The spacious kitchen flows into a casual sitting area with FP, while the screened-in sunroom invites you to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. The formal dining room, with its striking lighted tray ceiling, offers the best views in the home: lush spring and summer greenery, brilliant autumn foliage, and expansive winter views of the Connecticut River. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a spa bath with soaking tub, shower, double vanities, and a generous dressing room/closet. Two upstairs bedrooms feature ensuite baths, offering privacy and convenience. Additional living spaces include a family room and a library with FP and a dry bar. Not to be missed is the third-floor secret getaway-perfect for a creative retreat or private escape. A wood stove, Buderus furnace, generator, copper gutters, 2017 roof, laundry room, porte-cochere, and walkout basement to a paver patio with fountain complete this one-of-a-kind offering.
