Description

Experience unparalleled tranquility on this expansive estate, spanning over three acres of land and encompassing a sprawling ranch that offers breathtaking views of the Mill River. Nestled amidst nature, this property is equipped with a geothermal heating and cooling system, eliminating the need for oil or gas bills. Your sole utility expense will be your electric bill, which averages approximately $180 per month year-round. As you enter this 2,945 square foot ranch, you will be greeted by a spacious living and dining area that spans 756 square feet. This remarkable room features a striking wall of windows that frame picturesque views of the Mill River, complemented by a magnificent brick fireplace that infuses warmth and character. The wide plank hardwood floors and cathedral ceilings contribute to the inviting ambiance. Exploring the south wing of the house, you will discover a half bath, the primary suite, a second bedroom, a sauna, and a greenhouse. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with an en suite bathroom, his and her walk-in closets, and windows that overlook the tranquil natural surroundings and the river. On the opposite end of the home, a spacious eat-in kitchen awaits, featuring stainless steel appliances and access to a Trex deck overlooking the river-an ideal setting for al fresco dining or enjoying your morning coffee. As you proceed along the west wing, you will discover a third bedroom, a complete bathroom, a mudroom featuring a newly installed washer and dryer, and a cedar closet. This wing also provides access to an expansive two-car garage, equipped with a 400-amp power source, ideal for car enthusiasts or DIY projects. The roof was recently replaced just seven years ago. Conveniently situated just a short distance from Quinnipiac University and the bustling heart of Hamden, this residence offers easy access to the Merritt Parkway and Interstate 91. This home is truly a rare gem, as such properties are no longer being constructed. The potential of this property is boundless. Come and experience it for yourself and make this exceptional property your own!
