About This Home
Beautiful farmhouse-style Colonial set on over 4 private acres and tucked back from the road, offering space, functionality, and a convenient location close to town and the highway. A welcoming covered wraparound front porch sets the tone for this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home featuring newer exterior paint and an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, center island, and dining area, all open to a spacious family room with fireplace. Sliders from both the kitchen and family room lead to the rear deck, creating an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. The main level features hardwood floors throughout and includes a formal dining room and a formal living room that can easily serve as a home office. Upstairs you'll find a loft area at the top of the stairs, convenient second-floor laundry, and a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet, and oversized bath. Three additional generously sized bedrooms all feature wall-to-wall carpet. The partially finished basement offers flexible living space for a second family room, office, or workout area. A mudroom leads to the attached 2-car garage. Additional features include underground utilities and wiring for a generator. Just minutes to Lake Lillinonah, and to the hiking and biking trails at Upper Paugussett State Forest. And conveniently located just 65 miles from NYC.
