Located on a private cul de sac, you can retreat from cares in your salt water pool in the summer, enjoy the cozy fireplace in winter and walk the adjacent Cockaponset Forest trails year round and yet you're only 4 miles to town and the sandy beaches of desirable Madison CT! Your peaceful enclave is in a small neighborhood cul de sac and is in beautiful, fresh, move-in condition with lots of upgrades. Off of the family room (w/fireplace) is a sensational 3 season sunroom (sunny days in winter are really comfy too). The sparkling kitchen has an island and breakfast area with sunny exposure to the south.The master bedroom is very roomy with an inviting window seat and built-in shelving and it has a new and beautiful bathroom with luxurious soak tub and radiant heat in the floor.The 'box' of the house is 2863 sf but there is additionally 960 sf finished in the beautiful lower level. Here is a lovely large gathering room with French doors to the outside with a stamped concrete patio surrounding the salt water pool which is long enough for lap swimming! Also on the lower level is an exercise room or office and a large laundry/utility room as well as a half bath. A bonus room over the garage currently serves as a fifth bedroom (septic tank is 1250 gal) or could be in-law or older child's domaine. This is a rare, delightful home offering pride of ownership, upgrades, comfort and peaceful wooded vistas. Professional photos due on line by 2/9 and listing becomes active 2/12.
