At first glance, it’s a modest ranch. But step inside and you’ll discover a home that defies expectations: Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, open spaces, and walls of glass open this home to the view of Moodus Reservoir, while outside, a carefully designed landscape of terraces, gardens, and stone walls creates a sense of retreat and calm. The main floor brings life and light together, flowing seamlessly with an updated kitchen replete with tiled floors, beadboard cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Add a beautiful, as well as functional, center island offering a view to die for and built-in dining seating, and you have it all. Dining and living spaces open directly to a wrap-around deck that not only expands your living area but is also covered, allowing you to be outside rain or shine. It’s ideal for savoring morning coffee, enjoying al fresco dinners, or simply taking in the rhythm of the lake before you, and enjoying time with friends and family. Downstairs, the primary suite becomes your luxurious and private getaway. A space-saving barn door provides privacy. At the same time, beautiful glass sliders open directly to the lower covered patio for more anytime outdoor space. Imagine waking up to look over your toes at the water with its herons, egrets, geese, and ducks drifting past. A spa bath with a soaking tub and a glass shower completes this retreat. Flexible living areas on both levels add room for guests, media, or hobbies.
