Remarkable and rustic, this one-of-a kind home on a corner lot offers abundant, open outdoor space, bolstered by deep bordering woods and a charming ice skating pond, all in a location convenient to everything. The bold character of the home’s exterior is matched on the inside which competently blends the country aesthetic of the farmhouse that once stood in its place with all the benefits of its modern construction, and even incorporates some of the original barn building materials. The very versatile floor plan includes a country kitchen featuring a stone, mantled fireplace, granite counters, center island, and walk-in pantry. Dine in either the kitchen or the adjacent, open-concept combination dining and living room. The master suite, with towering cathedral ceiling, presents a dressing closet with access to the main level bathroom as well as a door to the generous, dedicated deck. Upstairs there is a large, delightful multi-purpose room, the other two bedrooms and full bathroom. The lower level provides loads of storage as well as additional, finished living space comprised of a guest room, office and half bathroom. This exceptional & unique home, in a Blue Ribbon award winning school district, is just a short commute to downtown New Haven and major routes. Be sure to walk through the home virtually with our 3-D tour, available via the "virtual tour" link in the listing.
