Welcome to your private retreat. Set on 2.58 acres of beautiful natural and landscaped grounds, this wholesome 3-bedroom ranch is an incredible rare blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and wild beauty. Wake up to views of the river from your bedroom, and step out onto the expansive screened-in porch. Spot the deer, wild turkey, woodpeckers, and even the resident great blue heron catching it's breakfast just outside your back door. No flood insurance required-your home is perfectly positioned above the water, far enough away for safety, yet close enough to just take a few steps to enjoy fishing or swimming in your own pre-dug riverfront swimming hole. The private tennis court, stone patio, and finished rec/playroom in the basement offer all kinds of space for hobbies, relaxation, and gathering together. Serve up something truly special from the custom kitchen cabinetry inspired by the outdoors, and enjoy time together under the vaulted ceiling in the dining room, or by the flames of the custom stone fireplace. Living is easy with everything on one level: laundry, primary bed and bathrooms, and home office, etc. A detached two-car garage plus under-house garage provide three covered parking spaces and ample storage. Just minutes from Mansfield Hollow, Mount Hope Park, the public library, and both UConn and Eastern CT State University. This is more than a home-it's a lifestyle for those who crave privacy, wildlife, and peaceful living. Take a breath. Set up a showing. You found it.
