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.
