It would be near impossible to build a home like this today!! No expense has been spared in the design & construction of this one owner custom built home which features soaring 20 ft. cathedral ceilings and a spacious open floorplan. This 4 bedroom, 2 full, 2 half bath, colonial is great for entertaining, complete with a chef's kitchen with granite countertops, center island, & stainless steel appliances. Open concept family room & a large dining room to host the largest of gatherings. An impressive 175 sq. ft. mudroom with built-ins, indoor/outdoor dog kennel, and half bath. Finishing off the first floor is an incredible craft/homework room, which also could stand as the secondary home office. Upstairs you will find 4 good sized bedrooms, one being a stately primary suite, with walk in closet, and on-suite bath with skylights, letting in plenty of natural light! The opposite wing of the home includes an additional 3 rooms which include the primary home office with private entrance, gym, and study. Added living space is found in the partially finished basement, which is currently set up as a TV & game room. This beautiful home sits on a 4.4 acre lot abutting the "Skyline Nature Preserve" which consists of 88 acres, offers miles of hiking trails, and breathtaking panoramic views of the CT River Valley right out of your back door. This private retreat truly is a hidden gem in Northern Connecticut, with an easy commute to both Hartford, Ct & Springfield, MA.
