43 Kachina Way, Madison, CT 06443

This home truly reflects the best of both worlds: It's nestled in a quiet, cul-de-sac neighborhood, but also within minutes of the center of town and beaches. Situated on nearly 2 acres, its 3980-sq-ft, open floor plan features 4 bedrooms and 3.1 baths; a bonus room over the 3-car garage provides an optional 5th bedroom. The new front walkway leads into the airy foyer, where the refinished hardwood floors project the home's warm ambiance. Some of the rooms have been repainted neutral colors. The kitchen is equipped with high-end stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, large center island, desk area, and cherry cabinetry throughout, including two pantry closets. The eat-in kitchen adjoins the family room, highlighted by a handsome stone fireplace and built-in bookshelves and cabinets. French doors lead to a den/home office, from which another set of French doors open onto the sunny, living room that includes another fireplace. The dining room is to the left of the foyer, while the beautiful, screened-in back porch is accessed from the kitchen. Upstairs is the backyard-facing master bedroom, adorned with a tray ceiling and two walk-in closets -- and stunning master bath with granite double sinks, cherry cabinets, large walk-in shower, and Jacuzzi. Two of the other three bedrooms have adjoining bathrooms. The full basement has a walk-out to the backyard and professionally landscaped grounds. Among value-added conveniences is a whole-house, propane-powered generator.
