Walking distance to UConn, a wonderful opportunity. In harmony with its natural surroundings, this mid-century modern deck house with cedar siding sits on 1.7 wooded acres in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac. Unique and imaginative, this is a home that feels incredibly solid, yet light & open, airy and expansive. Soaring ceilings defined by broad expanses of cedar decking that span the exposed framework of beams, with walls of glass so you can enjoy nature from every angle and every season. The outdoors is framed as if each individual view were a life-size mural. An expanse of south facing glass provides warming solar gain while flowing roof extensions provide cooling shade. Dine alfresco on your 23 ' sundeck or enjoy evenings or rainy days on your screen porch overlooking the pool. A wood poolside deck is artfully enhanced with a rough-carved stone bench. Inside a trendy open kitchen has its own built in grill. Two fireplaces, both up and down, provide added warmth and charm on chilly days. A little love and refurbishing will bring this architectural gem back to its original glory.
