Although there are many Colonial home on the market in our area at any one time, few are built and designed like a Peter Durgan home. Before his untimely death in 2009 he had built many magnificent period colonial homes. A perfectionist and master of his craft, Peter made his mark building throughout the Connecticut shoreline. This Durgan Colonial is beautifully sited upon a lush, verdant, and private 7+ acres far from the noise of passing cars. The fully fenced rear yard allows for safety and privacy for use of the in-ground pool and play area. A screened porch keeps you enjoying summer nights out of the reach of bugs and is the bridge between the casual dining area and Chef's kitchen and blue stone patio. The center island and custom cabinets support gleaming granite and hold stainless appliances to serve family and guests in front of one of 3 wonderfully adorned fireplaces. The linear coffered ceiling great room is just beyond with wonderful built-ins, another fireplace and access to the quaint covered porch or rear yard. A formal dining room with the 3rd fireplace and den/office flank the stairs to the upper level with 4 ample bedrooms and spectacular master bedroom suite. A 2-car garage is below the oversized bonus room replete with a full bath to make it convenient for any purpose. This well meticulously maintained home makes it better than new. Come see for yourself.
