Nestled in a desirable neighborhood & close-by to shopping, restaurants & major routes, this custom, mid-century modern ranch, designed by award-winning, Yale architect, Richard McCurdy, expertly balances the serenity of the property w/ functional daily enjoyment. White oak floors connect the shared living spaces &, w/ the service elements of the home thoughtfully comprising its core, all rooms flow together, benefiting from panoramic views & natural light. Experience picturesque scenery in all 4 seasons as well as radiant light throughout, provided by apex widows on 3 sides & 7 skylights that span the open concept floor plan. Vaulted ceilings adorn every room & grand picture windows in the remodeled kitchen & adjacent living room capture the lush verdure of the surrounding grounds. Since Manley Heights is one of the highest elevations in town, the large, west-facing rear deck, is the ideal place from which to enjoy endless sunsets & then head in to a cozy fire by the floor-to-ceiling fireplace. All 3 bedrooms are comfortable in size & storage, but the twin bedrooms are unique in their connection via the front, wrap-around deck. The den provides a versatile room for an office or casual relaxation & additional space is found in the walk-out lower level too! A lovely recreation or media room, the half bathroom, & laundry facilities complete the lower level. Improvements, including an automatic generator & completely new septic in 2017 make this special home an exceptional value
