399 Lebanon Ave, Colchester, CT 06415

Situated on over seven acres and set back a generous distance from the road, this classic country Colonial with its covered, wraparound porch was lovingly built by the son of its original and only owners. Crafted with care of the highest quality materials such as Harvey windows and premium Douglas fir, this home exceeded code with upgraded wiring throughout and 2 x 6 framing ahead of its time. Diagonally-set decking reveals an eye for design and window shutters on not only the front but both sides of the facade, show attention to—and investment in—every detail. Welcome friends and loved ones into the spacious front foyer with its warm wood floors. Tuck their coats into one of two closets flanking the dining room where you’re sure to feel proud hosting the holidays. Stock up the deep pantry in the mud room that also houses main floor laundry and offers the perfect drop zone when entering from the oversized, two-car, side-load garage. Storage shelves line fully finished walls and hooks await your favorite flowers for cold weather in this heated space with hot and cold running water! With a great, open layout to the eat-in space and family room beyond, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Ample solid hardwood cabinetry including a tall wall of storage, plenty of counter space and a peninsula for breakfast, homework or cocktails while cooking make meal prep a pleasure. Keep an eye on the back yard action from the window over the sink and easily move dinner to the 16 x 14 outdoor dining room on the covered deck that looks out across the private land appearing like a meadow enveloped by mature, majestic trees you simply don’t get with new construction. Curl up with a good book or converse with company around the fire in the front room or kick back for kick-off in the family room. Upstairs, you’ll find an open but secluded feeling “loft” area. Currently staged as an office or study, you might prefer a playroom or other imaginative use for this sunny space just outside one of four large bedrooms. The primary suite, overlooking the back of the property, boasts an enviable walk-in closet and en-suite with jetted tub for massaging away the day. On top of having enough room for everyone to spread out in their own personal sanctuaries, you’ll be wowed by the enormous and versatile finished space over the garage. Measuring nearly 530 square feet, this bonus room stands ready to fulfill whatever your heart desires or your life demands. In search of a place to make music, create on canvas, or work magic with wood? Maybe it’s meditation, yoga or freakish fitness you’re after. Perhaps it’s soccer team sleepovers or billiards and bar time? Whatever the case may be, it’s all up to you. Other important opportunities to consider are found outside this unique property. No doubt, you’ll love the land with its perennial gardens, birds, bees and possibilities. Keep it all to yourself or inquire with the town about the possibility of sub-dividing it into what would remain two or more handsome parcels of property. If you have additional structures in your mind’s eye, the existing 190’ x 40’ concrete slab foundation or smaller foot print housing horses in years past might serve to underpin your plans and make your dreams come to reality. Home also features central air, plumbed for central vac and hardwired for whole house generator.
