A beautiful oversized cottage style home, built recently but with a reverence for the past with top quality materials and classic styles. Designed and built by architect Randall Hoder, this one-of-a-kind home beautifully combines imagination with practicality. Located in the Prospect Hill section of East Rock, on one long quiet street, this house is within easy walking distance to markets, schools, and Edgerton Park. The bright skylit kitchen, top-of-the-line appliances, and open windows lead you to the serene stone patio w/ an apple tree and raised beds for vegetable gardens. The dining room boasts 5" cherry floors, exposed spruce beams, and french doors that open wide onto the patio. A curved bookcase-lined cherry staircase leads to a dramatic and luxurios open floor plan master suite upstairs, with custom windows, maple floors, full bath and dressing room. There are two first-floor bedrooms each with private bathrooms, and two more upstairs bedrooms that share another full bathroom. The cozy living room boasts walnut shelving and a gaslit fireplace. There is a limestone mudroom on the first floor with washer/dryer and plenty of storage; and a massive empty basement ready for finishing touches (imagine a wine cellar or an art studio). 5 separate heating zones and 2 a/c zones, as well as an efficient electric hybrid hot water heater. Tesla charger installed in the garage. Come see this unique beauty for yourself.
