Sited on 6.4 private acres and set high above the road, this impressive 3,012-square-foot Colonial offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy, and functionality. A welcoming front porch, attached three car garage, beautifully landscaped grounds, flowering gardens, fruit trees, and stone walls create a picturesque setting. Designed with everyday living and entertaining in mind, the expansive floor plan with a thoughtful layout includes a formal living room, dining room, spacious eat-in kitchen, inviting family room, private den, and a convenient mudroom with first-floor laundry. The second floor features a spacious primary suite, three additional bedrooms, and a huge recreation room that can easily serve as a media room, playroom, home gym, or all of the above! Outdoor living is equally impressive. Raised garden beds, perennials, a bluestone patio and barbecue area provide the perfect backdrop for relaxing or entertaining, while an outdoor shower adds a touch of convenience after a day spent gardening or enjoying the property. A separate garage/shed offers excellent storage for lawn and garden equipment, and an automatic whole-house generator provides added peace of mind year-round. The paved driveway, two-year old roof and recent remodeling makes this a truly move-in ready home! Surrounded by nature and offering exceptional comfort and versatility, this beautiful Colonial is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, space, and the best of country living. Don't be scared away by "Route 81"! This home is set so far off the road any road noise just blends in with the birds and breezes! Known as a town that embraces nature, there are hiking/biking/horseback riding trails for your enjoyment near by at Chatfield Hollow State Park, Cockaponset State Forest and town owned Parmelee Farm and KRP Recreation Parks. Hammonassett State Beach is only a short drive and town residents enjoy access to the Clinton town beach! Easy proximity to route 1, I-95, Hartford, New Haven, and commuter rails to Boston and NYC. Finally, Killingworth is part of the award winning Regional School District 17 ~ there is still time to close on this home before the start of the school year!
