Description

Experience ultimate privacy and tranquility with this stunning 2,204 sq. ft. Cape Cod home, tucked away on a secluded 3-acre lot surrounded by unbuildable land. Nature and wildlife flourish here, creating a peaceful sanctuary that feels worlds away. This charming residence features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including a massive master retreat with a skylight, walk-in closet, and private en-suite bath. The three additional bedrooms upstairs, two of which feature skylights, are filled with natural light and showcase the original oak wide plank flooring throughout the rooms and hallway, adding timeless elegance and character to the home. As an added highlight, a new septic system was installed just three years ago, providing peace of mind and reducing future maintenance costs. This property perfectly blends old-world charm with the opportunity to add your personal style, transforming it into your very own oasis. Located in a highly desirable area, your new home awaits! This property is being sold as-is, allowing you the freedom to make it your own. With a solar energy system and battery backup, this home combines beauty with energy efficiency. The new homeowner must assume the current solar contract, making this property an eco-friendly dream come true! The house was built in 1900, and renovations with an addition were done in 1989.

    "Great schools and community. small safe friendly town with reasonable tax rates, walking and bike riding parks. great commuting community to Route 8, 15 and 84. we have lived here 15 years and our only regret was that we didn't move here sooner when all our kids were just starting school. Amity HS rated one of the top public HS in Connecticut. The grammer and middle schools are excellent. I'm not sure any young family could get a better value for their tax dollar or a better community to raise a family. Clover Nook Farm is right up the street for yummy veggies, corn and more! Country diner, Teddy B's (our favorite) and Billy's restaurants are very New England hometown eateries with great food that won't kill your wallet! public works and roads are maintained pretty well. Snow plowing in the winter is pretty prompt and responsive. Trash pickup is weekly curbside. Recycled pickup is at the town recycle center. The town is exploring curbside pickup as they feel the recycling participation will grown exponentially. All in all I would highly recommend Bethany for any family looking for a safe community with great schools tha"

    "Plenty of paved areas to walk as well as trails through the woods. Many neighbors have dogs and we have met many of them as they walk. Sometimes horses are around as well that could scare some dogs. Lots of wildlife as well so outside dogs may need to be put up at night. Bobcats, fox, and coyotes are common. "
