More details

Heron's Nest.
 
It is not very often you run across a property as special as this, from the outside landscaping to the attention to detail on the inside. This unique home has so much to offer. 
 
Originally this 1940's home was a small place, but the owner worked hard to add a function design while adding much needed space to it. Now a wonderful 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home with so many features.
 
The home capitalizes on bringing the outdoors in, and the amount of natural lighting as well as the views are amazing.  The jewel outside is the pond, complete with fish, a resident heron and even ducks raising their babies in the spring. There are one of a kind bridges over streams, a custom made tea house of exotic woods, benches to sit and enjoy the extensive landscaping with so many perennial flowers, beautiful shrubbery and trees that fit perfectly into the picture. The pond is big enough for a paddle boat if you like.
 
Inside the home is a perfect blend of old vs. new. Unique lighting fixtures and edgy designs blend well into the home bringing comfort and style together. 
 
The foyer has a beautiful black and white ceramic tile floor, plenty of closet and storage space, has a separate sink area just off the entry to the patio, a half bath and the laundry area. It also opens into a 2 car garage.  
 
The kitchen offers an up to date space with metal treading back splash, beautiful concrete counters and eye catching red cabinets and hard wood flooring. The vaulted ceiling and ample lights make it a pleasure to work in. 
 
The original part of the home has a den, library or living room with a fireplace. Warm hardwood floors combine well with the vaulted ceiling and beams. The owner has dressed it up with a unique colorful shelving system around the room for a bit of an industrial feel in an otherwise traditional room.  Just down the hall is one of the original bedrooms, now used as office space, with a full bath.
 
The current combination living room, dining room has a full wall of windows overlooking the pond. Entertaining in this room is a breeze, and there is access to the outside if you want to spend some time on the patio below. 
 
The staircase is quite fun, having been designed by the owner it is a combination of metal beams and wood, a striking design element, a work of art!
 
Upstairs are 2 additional bedrooms. The master suit is an oasis of peace and tranquility. It also overlooks the property with a wall of windows and offers enough space for a sitting area. There are 2 closets, one of them is more of a dressing room than a closet, with space enough for anyone! The bathroom offers a soaking tub, a glass tiled shower, a heated towel
rack, and a teak vanity. 
 
There is an additional bedroom on the second floor with a seating area, a fantastic view of the pond and back yard as well as an en-suite bath.  Windows in the bedroom offer the perfect place to sit and relax, read, enjoy the outdoor scenery or even watch the stars!
 
There is also a 2 car garage with a spacious open storage loft above, accessed directly off the foyer.  
 
Moving to the outside there are so many different things to enjoy. A large patio is perfect for entertaining, other areas offer a more private setting to sit and enjoy the scenery. To preserve the plantings the property is surrounded by custom designed deer fencing with an automatic gate, ensuring privacy as well. The property borders Merwin Brook and the Gurski Farm Open Space.
 
You are minutes to Lake Lillinonah where you can enjoy many water and boating activities, and surrounded by hiking trails and other outdoor activities as well as convenient to shopping, restaurants, and a fantastic commuting location. Just 70 minutes to New York City.  
 
This is a truly unique and beautiful home which brings together traditional and contemporary, with a bit edgy industrial thrown in, all with comfort and style tucked into an amazing setting full of lush plantings and your very own pond. No matter what your needs as a full time resident or a weekender looking for that perfect country home, this will be sure to please.
