Tucked away on 2.26 beautifully landscaped acres and set well back from the road, this distinctive contemporary Colonial offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space, craftsmanship, and recreation. With more than 6,000 square feet of above-grade living space and a property that directly abuts the Cheshire Land Trust, the home enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting surrounded by nature while offering an impressive collection of amenities inside and out. Natural light is a defining feature throughout the home, beginning with the dramatic two-story brick foyer, where soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and a pellet stove create a striking introduction. The expansive first level features radiant floor heating and tremendous versatility, with a spacious family room, private office, full bath, and an impressive 43' x 15' recreation room. Walkout access leads to a covered deck and the private grounds beyond, making this level equally well suited for entertaining, recreation, a home gym, or guest accommodations. Upstairs, the main living spaces are generous in scale yet warm and inviting. The kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and a sun-filled breakfast area overlooking the surrounding landscape. Formal living and dining rooms provide additional entertaining space, while the vaulted Great Room with pellet stove offers a comfortable place to gather.
