Set on nearly an acre of parklike grounds in a coveted North Haven neighborho­od, this one-ofa-kind property offers amazing attention to every detail. The home was designed to offer many amenities that cater to large gatherings, guests and even au pair accommodat­ions. The property is complete with a stunning inground Gunite pool and pool house, featuring an expansive patio and wet bar, ideal for outdoor entertaini­ng.

Fine finish work, a bright and open floor plan and quality materials throughout are hallmarks of this remarkable home. This refined residence is filled with architectu­ral detail at every turn.

Enter a gracious foyer, where sparkling hardwood floors span the home’s 4,355 square feet. French doors from the foyer open into a spacious yet inviting, formal living room highlighte­d with a handsome fireplace and French doors that open into a threeseaso­n porch with walls of glass that open to the patio and overlook the picturesqu­e grounds. The living room also opens to a bright and sunny billiard room with skylights, a vaulted ceiling, built-ins and a bar.

“This is just a fantastic space for relaxing and entertaini­ng,” listing agent Pat Moreggi said.

The owners agree. “We have had a great deal of fun in the billiard room,” they reminisced.

One of the things the owners love most is the openness and comfort of the layout. “There is a quiet place for everyone to relax in our spacious, comfortabl­e home.”

On the opposite side of the foyer, architectu­ral columns accent the formal dining room, along with a tray ceiling. The striking family room features walls of floor-to-ceiling built-ins, a fireplace and a picture window overlookin­g the pool and patio, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The family room is open to the kitchen, which is an absolute delight with custom cabinetry, a SubZero refrigerat­or, built-ins and a sunny dining area perfect for every day meals.

“The kitchen has full sun with a wide bank of south-facing windows, it is such a bright and cheerful space,” the owner adds.

A rear foyer from the three-car garage features a wall of windows overlookin­g the backyard and a balcony from the second floor family room.

On the upper level, the spacious master bedroom suite features a large dressing room and a grand master bath with high ceilings, unique circular windows, a Jacuzzi tub and a walk-in, glassenclo­sed shower. Three more generously proportion­ed bedrooms provide ample living space.

A fifth bedroom features its own staircase to an upper level with a full bath, a wet bar, closets and an alcove with beautiful

arched window that looks out onto the backyard. It is currently being used as a second family room and would be ideal for au pair or guest accommodat­ions.

The home is convenient­ly located 10 minutes to downtown New Haven and only a half-mile to the highway for easy commuting. Listing agent:
