Lavish home sits on 4.32 acres
Home provides custom millwork and hardwood floors
This majestic home is a sight to behold on 4+ park-like acres in the desirable Taunton Lake area. “This like-new home was built using the best materials, with attention to details, sparing no expense,” said Dee Ceylan, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties. “Located in one of Newtown’s most desirable neighborhoods, this custom-built, beautifully maintained, updated colonial has all the features for today’s modern living,” said Ceylan.
Built in 2006, the 5,174-squarefoot, ten room, two level home is located on 4.32 acres at 21 Taunton Lane in Newtown, on the border of Newtown, Brookfield and Bethel. “It offers a very private setting.”
The dramatic two-story foyer, featuring a tile floor, white trim, and an elegant chandelier, mirrors what is found in the rest of the home. “A grand, light-filled entrance welcomes you to both elegance and timeless style featuring custom millwork, and Brazilian Cherry flooring with inlays in each room, and 10’ ceilings throughout the house,” said Ceylan.
The home is beautifully designed. “It’s spacious and has a flexible floor plan with well-proportioned light-filled rooms that offer wonderful spaces for family living and entertaining,” he said. Both the living room and dining room are formal, yet comfortable spaces. “The living room offers classic comfort, featuring white trim, cherry hardwood floors, and numerous windows.” Equally sophisticated is the formal dining room. “It’s elegant with cherry hardwood floors, double crown molding, white chair railing and trim, and tray ceilings,” noted Ceylan. The dining room offers plenty of space to accommodate a large family in addition to friends. “The flow between the family room, dining room, and kitchen area is perfect for entertaining numerous guests for holidays and special occasions.”
The gourmet chef’s kitchen is impressive. It’s well-appointed with stunning details, including granite countertops; a fantastic oversized center island with a stainless sink and extra storage space; a custom backsplash; beautiful wood cabinetry; neutral tile; a decoratively-designed backsplash; and recessed and pendant lighting. Stainless steel appliances include an electric cooktop; a double wall oven; a microwave; and a refrigerator. Also, the kitchen has a convenient work station/ desk area. The casual eat-in area is sited near French doors that open to a huge deck overlooking the lush acreage.
Stylish white columns separate the breakfast area and family room space. A cozy wood- burning marble fireplace with a whitetrimmed mantel offers a welcoming ambiance to this room that’s detailed with hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and large windows that bring in natural light. “It’s a very versatile room which can be used as an office/library/ media or casual play/game room for the young ones,” said Ceylan.
A sweeping quarter turn staircase leads to the upper level and a master bedroom suite. This room is serene and luxurious. Special features offer a casual yet sophisticated atmosphere, including Cherry hardwood floors; lovely white trim; a tray ceiling; recessed lighting; and plentiful windows. A highlight is dual walk-in closets that are spacious and bright. The master bathroom extends the opulence. “It has an oversized custom glass steam shower, a Jacuzzi with tasteful marble tiles, and his-and-her sinks with granite counters. Between the master bedroom and the bathroom, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation in a five-star resort,” said Ceylan.
Four additional, exceptionally large bedrooms are located on the upper level. “All of them have hardwood floors and walk-in closets, as well as full bathrooms with jacuzzis, a stall shower, custom cabinetry with granite countertops, high-quality fixtures, a steam shower, and more.”
The lower level features a 2,200square-foot unfinished walk-out basement with high ceilings. “It’s waiting for your imagination,” said Ceylan.
Additional amenities include a separate upper level laundry room; central air conditioning; central vacuum; a security system; Thermopane windows; a large walk-up attic; and an oversized three car attached garage. Also, the home has a secondary entrance with a mudroom and full bathroom.
The professionally landscaped property has exquisite stone work found in the front walkway and porch area, patio, and walls around the yard. Additionally, Belgium pavers, mature trees, seasonal plants, and both annual and perennial flowers add to the home’s curb appeal. A spacious deck provides splendid views of the expansive property. “The yard is expansive, yet private, and offers the perfect outdoor entertainment venue,” he said.
The home is ideally located in Newtown. “It’s minutes to downtown and a short stroll to the beautiful 124-acre, spring-fed Taunton Lake for fishing, swimming, and kayaking, and close to shopping, and commuter routes (Exit 8-9 of I-84), and shopping and dining areas,” said Ceylan. “Newtown is one of the largest towns in the state with a small town feel with beautiful pastures, hilly forests, lakes, and ponds. It’s a great place to raise a family because the atmosphere radiates warmth, support, and positivity.”
This home has both an incredible interior and exterior that blends elegance with comfort. “It’s the perfect home for formal entertaining and everyday living with generous sized rooms, gorgeous details, and a fabulous floor plan,” said Ceylan. “Exquisite details and a wonderful location make this stately colonial a must-have home.”
