Surrounded by a peaceful preserve with beautiful views, this light filled custom contemporary Colonial offers a rare blend of privacy, flexibility, and classic Old Saybrook charm. Step through the new custom front door into an open, airy layout where natural light pours through new windows and skylights, setting a warm tone from the moment you enter. The stylish kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a new backsplash, updated lighting, and an easy flow into the beautiful family room with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and double sliders leading to the expansive back deck. Morning coffee here feels special, with birdsong, wooded views, and the protected preserve as your backdrop, while fall evenings around the firepit create the kind of outdoor living people remember. The floor plan offers wonderful versatility with the option for a main level or upper level primary suite, including a first floor bedroom with full bath and deck access. Major exterior updates from 2023 to present include a new roof, siding, gutters, garage doors, skylights, front lawn, landscaping, exterior lighting, pergolas, and refreshed decking, while interior improvements include fresh paint, smooth ceilings in most rooms, custom first floor doors, renovated baths, new stair railing, hardware, and appliances. A walk out basement, 2 car garage, newer 4 zone Buderus furnace, and first floor mini splits add comfort and function. Close to Old Saybrook's historic Main Street and restaurants.
