About This Home
Privately set on 3 hilltop acres with sweeping views and open skies, this meticulously maintained custom classic ranch presents a rare opportunity to enjoy refined country living with everyday ease. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, privacy, and effortless entertaining, the home offers an inviting single-level layout enhanced by quality craftsmanship and timeless appeal. A generous covered front porch welcomes outdoor dining, relaxed seating, and quiet moments overlooking the landscape, while the heated 26-foot pool-5 feet at its deepest, with a liner replaced last year-creates a resort-inspired setting for summer afternoons and memorable gatherings. Inside, warm hardwood floors, sun-filled living areas, and a living room anchored by a brick fireplace with glass doors and a cast iron fireback create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The serene primary bedroom features two walk-in closets and a private en suite bath, while the full basement and oversized walk-in attic-accessed from the recreation room above the garages-offer exceptional storage and the potential for future finished living space. Additional highlights include 21/2 garage bays and discreet southern-facing solar panels that convey, with the remaining balance transferring to the new owners. Hidden from the road yet just minutes from quaint downtown Bethel's walkable shops and boutiques, this secluded retreat pairs privacy, convenience, and enduring style in a truly special setting.
