Tucked quietly on two acres of lushly landscaped grounds, this enchanting storybook home offers architectural character, privacy, and lifestyle. Inspired by French Normandy design, it is defined by a turreted entry, hand-laid stonework, and rich detail that feels both timeless and personal. Designed with its natural setting in mind, the home is set back and integrated into the landscape, creating a sense of peace and individuality. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, stone fireplaces, stained glass and light-filled spaces create both warmth and scale. Each room has views of lovely trees and perennial gardens. The custom kitchen has been completely reimagined by a local designer, with fine finishes and thoughtful details balancing function with style. Opening effortlessly to the living and dining areas, it suits both everyday living and entertaining. The 1,000 bottle wine cellar adds a special touch. A private primary suite with fireplace offers a quiet retreat, while additional spaces provide flexibility for guests, work, or creative use. Outdoors, a heated pool, stone patios, a babbling brook leading to the koi pond and separate guest house create a private paradise ideal for company or quiet enjoyment. A bird watcher's dream, the property is alive with natural beauty in all seasons. Whether a full-time residence or weekend escape, you'll be just 30 minutes to the airport, a quick ride to Collinsville, the Farmington River, Ski Sundown and everyday conveniences.
