Description

A rare gem! The beautiful setting for this charming antique colonial on over 4acres features a meandering brook bordering the sweeping lawn and gorgeous mature plantings. This striking, park like property is perfect for gardening, entertaining or hosting formal events in the expansive outdoor space. Many quiet areas overlooking the brook or nestled amongst the foliage allow for time to breathe and relax. The pretty stone patio off of the kitchen and overlooking the backyard and brook is a perfect setting for a romantic meal al fresco, a relaxing cocktail, or a motivating cup of coffee to start the day. The house is rich in history but has kept up with the times. Large rooms and superior floor plan provide a great flow for entertaining. The family room with attached full bath could serve as a first-floor bedroom, or a wonderful office space flooded with natural light. The walk-up attic has amazing amounts of space for any number of uses. Sale of this property also includes additional land right across the street known as 11 Obtuse Road with a large barn, gardens and even more waterfront! This location can't be beat! Close proximity to exit 9 of I84 means easy highway access to get to NYC and airports. Very close to all shopping. A wonderful community with many restaurants, a Vineyard with live entertainment, great Community Center with pools, many gym options, lots of hiking trails, and lakefront beach. This is a very special home you can move into before the end of the year! One of the four bedrooms has an adjacent room that can be turned into a big closet, office, sitting room or a fifth bedroom. Very versatile floor plan.
