Set on 6.7 acres bordered on three sides by Cockaponset State Forest, this distinctive property combines wooded privacy with a shared pond, a flowing river on the land, and access to the Blue Trail hiking network. Imagine quiet mornings surrounded by mature trees, the gentle sound of moving water, birdsong, and peaceful outdoor moments with nature as your backdrop. The setting is suited to a full-time residence or second home, with opportunities to hike, explore the woods, and enjoy a country setting near Connecticut River towns and coastal destinations. The 1976 Saltbox Colonial was extensively renovated, with a 2008 addition doubling the original home's size. Features include hardwood floors, Anderson windows, quartz kitchen countertops, and appliances. Double Anderson doors open onto the deck. The flexible two-to-four-bedroom layout includes a first-floor bedroom or office, laundry, and full bath. The primary suite has a walkout deck and full bath with jetted tub. Two additional bedrooms and adjoining flexible space provide options for guests, an office, studio, or dressing room. The attached two-car garage has a separate-entry entertainment room above. The walkout lower level provides exterior access and space for a workshop, studio, or storage. A large barn-style shed provides additional storage. Convenient to Wesleyan University, Middletown and Chester Main Streets, the East Haddam Bridge, Goodspeed Opera House, and Connecticut beaches.
