New Haven Register (Sunday) (New Haven, CT)
Stately five-bedroom colonial boasts exceptional amenities
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.
