About This Home

As of December 2021

SEEKING A STUNNING HOME WITH LOADS OF PRIVACY AND VIEWS OF THE CT RIVER? Located on the Haddam/Middletown line and 5 mins from the quaint Higganum Center. Built in 1995 with the spectacular views that will take your breath away the minute you walk in the front door. This architecturally dynamic 3 bedroom shingled home, with loads of rooms for any need, hosts the following on the 1st floor: a private Living Room (with fireplace), a Dining Room (with an unparalleled view), a Family Room (with fireplace that is "open concept" to the Kitchen), Kitchen (tons of counter space and great natural light), 1st floor Master Bedroom Suite (more views!), Bonus Room (easy access off the Kitchen) and a screened in porch (a perfect place to relax on a nice day). The 2nd floor has generous sized two bedrooms, both with full baths, and an over-sized storage room (25' x 15'). The 3rd floor walk-up attic could easily be converted into a hobby room or office. The lower level keeps on giving! There is a 2 car garage, office, playroom, full bath and a workshop to dream of. There are 2 gas fireplaces and one wood burning stove, generator, Buderus furnace, copper gutters, new roof (2017), bluestone patio with a water fountain feature and invisible fencing. All this and only 5 minutes from Route 9!
