Enchanting setting surrounds exceptional colonial
A tranquil waterfall and rock garden meanders its way to the vibrant landscaping and peaceful 1.1-acre setting that encompass this exceptional colonial located in North Haven’s highly soughtafter Blue Hills area. Owners will enjoy the convenient location on a cul-de-sac, close to major highways with great views of Sleeping Giant.
The current homeowners fell in love with the quiet solitude and beauty of the natural surroundings, which is one of the things they have come to appreciate most about living here.
“Tranquility abounds as you listen to the relaxing sounds of the garden waterfall,” says the homeowner. “It is so peaceful here.”
Listing agent Joan Clinton agrees.
“It truly is a gorgeous setting with lush gardens, mature trees, meticulous landscaping and lovely sitting areas where you can sit and enjoy the pleasant surroundings,” Clinton said.
Inside, the home is equally as impressive and inviting with a nicely appointed interior that caters to comfortable living and entertaining throughout its 3,372 square feet.
It was the spaciousness and layout of the home that attracted the owners to the home when they first purchased it. Generously proportioned rooms are graced with hardwood floors, crown moldings and an abundance of windows that fill the space with light and take in the beauty of the natural backdrop.
The living room is accented with a handsome fireplace and an expansive artist-style window affording views of the rear yard and gardens. The family room lends itself well to spending leisure time and casual entertaining highlighted by a floor to ceiling brick wall with fireplace and built-ins.
The dining room is well-suited for holiday meals and gatherings featuring raised wall panels and a glass pocket door that leads to the
kitchen.
The bright and sunny kitchen is a delight among granite counters, tile floor, wall oven, built-in microwave and generous storage and work space. French doors open to another one of the owner’s favorite features — an oversized screened porch that opens to the deck.
“The porch and deck are great for hosting large parties and can accommodate many guests,” the
owners said.
Finished space on the lower level offers the added versatility to suit a variety of needs such as a recreation room, play room, home theater, office or gym.
On the upper level, four bedrooms provide ample space and privacy for family or guests. At day’s end, the master bedroom suite affords a peaceful escape featuring a fireplace, sitting room with skylight and dressing room.
The luxurious master bath is complete with marble counter tops, tile shower, heated towel rack, vaulted ceiling and a Palladian window set above the constant temperature tub affording tranquil views of the rear yard.
Rounding out the offering, the home is equipped with a generator, irrigation system and security system.
