Home or weekend mountain retreat? Either description fits this stunning, custom home tucked behind a ridge against the backdrop of Enders State Forest and the West Branch of Salmon Brook, yet only 10 minutes from shopping in quaint downtown Granby, or an easy 25 minutes from Bradley Airport or the Amtrak station in Windsor Locks via Route 20. The owners who custom built this home in 2020 have called it "Hidden Falls" as the brook running along side it cascades past a series of large boulders into a private swimming hole with waterfall. Built to the owner's specifications, this unique home features an open concept living space with soaring 22 foot ceilings and large windows framing expansive views of the manicured gardens. Living, dining and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly, anchored by a large island and uber-contemporary kitchen on one end, and a dramatic black leather tile fireplace on the other. To capture the essence of the dramatic setting, the owners added a 3-season porch off the kitchen/dining space, featuring large screened widows with movable panes to keep out weather. To complement the woodsy setting, light pine wood covers the walls and ceiling while the floor is inlaid with flagstone pavers harvested from an old cabin on the property. Off the porch is a small deck to further enjoy the serenity of this unique setting. Down the hall from the main living space is the master bedroom and bath, featuring a floating sink, Schrock cabinetry with slide outs, and a custom shower with Porcelanosa glass tiles and multiple shower heads. Across from the master is a second bedroom and a combo laundry/full bath with oversized tub. On the second level is a large loft overlooking the open space below, with an additional space which could serve as a 3rd bedroom. A full basement with oversized, east facing windows is both bright and cheerful. Adding further to the list of customizations are a central vacuum system, a Control 4 audio system with built in speakers in the primary living spaces, loft and TV outlets hard wired for internet, transfer switch to support a portable generator, curtain drains surrounding foundation, and underground gutter downspout drainage system. Outside, one will find an oversized, detached 2-car garage, custom landscaping and extensive use of stone walls. A large fire-pit sits on a rise above the creek with the ever present sound of flowing water with the mountain looming behind adding to the tranquility of the setting.
