Country retreat in Woodbridge
Six-bedroom colonial-style home on 1.7 acres
Centrally located on a lightly wooded 1.7-acre lot in lovely Woodbridge, this spectacular country retreat features everything on your wishlist.
The home’s beautifully updated living areas provide impressive views of the surrounding grounds and professionally designed gardens. The property is brimming with enviable amenities including a heated in-ground swimming pool, a tennis court and a carriage house.
A tour of the home begins in its absolutely gorgeous custom kitchen, which features an expansive granite island and countertops. This richly appointed space is equipped with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, including a six burner range with griddle and a wine chiller. There are also French doors which effortlessly open to the patio and pool area.
As you continue on, the home’s formal living and dining rooms offer beautiful spaces to gather with family and friends.
The living room space is highlighted by a massive fireplace and further accented by gleaming hardwood flooring and French doors leading to the patio, pool and an inviting indoor hot tub room.
The dining room also exudes charm and elegance, offering a fireplace and built-in cabinetry.
Additional “bonus” rooms in this stunning home include a study, sunroom, billiards room and a gracious first floor guest room with en-suite bath. Each of these spaces provide beautiful views of the property’s exceptional exterior grounds.
The master bedroom provides a peaceful retreat and includes vaulted ceilings, an abundance of closet space, a cozy fireplace and a private balcony. There are also twin “his and hers” bathrooms, which are outfitted with luxurious marble and stone flooring and countertops.
Three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a laundry and loft area complete the second floor
of this simply exquisite residence.
According to the property’s co-listing agent Nancy Andersen, the listed square footage of the home does not include the carriage house, which provides an additional 2,542 square feet of living area.
The carriage house provides the ideal setting for guest quarters and features an updated kitchen, full bathroom and a deck. This one-of-a-kind outbuilding also offers a recently refinished garage and workshop.
“The carriage house offers an opportunity for those buyers looking for guest quarters and a home office,” Andersen noted.
Andersen went on to explain that the home offers a unique combination of vintage charm and modern updates.
“The original part of the house was built in approximately 1900 and added onto over the years,” Andersen remarked. “The kitchen update is fabulous! This is a wonderful house for entertaining with great flow.”
The property is set in a desirable location in the bucolic town of Woodbridge, yet provides an easy commute to the hustle and bustle of downtown New Haven. The home is also in close proximity to nearby trails, the public library and award-winning schools.
