Surrounded by stands of oaks and maples on a dead end road, this cherished three bedroom home exudes warmth and charm. The inviting living room features a raised hearth fireplace and handsome windows, and the formal dining room has sliders to the deck overlooking the private yard. With its cozy dining nook, the kitchen also has a skylight, keeping it bright and cheerful even on the gloomiest days. There are three bedrooms, a full bath and hardwood floors on this level, and every room has been freshly painted a crisp white. Downstairs, everyone will enjoy the casual comfort of the spacious family room which has another fireplace. There's also an office with a separate entrance, ideal for an in-home business, and a half bath in the laundry room. Other features include a whole house fan and newer windows throughout. After a busy day, relax and enjoy peace and quiet on the expansive deck, or sit in the shade of the front yard to watch the sunset. Best of all, this secluded retreat, bordered by 30 acres of conservation land, is less than 15 minutes from New Haven.
