Natures paradise! Wonderful custom-built home designed by one of the renowned Centerbrook Architects nestled near mature trees next to a land trust property. This home was exceptionally sited to take full advantage of a lovely natural and extremely private setting. No detail was missed to obtain the most benefit from natural light and surroundings. The home flows seamlessly from kitchen to dining room, to living room, reading nook, and sunroom. The first floor also features a bedroom and a full bath. Upstairs, the primary bedroom with ensuite bath is separated from the other rooms by a library, study/office to allow for privacy for all. The almost 5 acre parcel is nothing short of a birders paradise, and abuts the Florence Bidwell Sanctuary Deep River Land Trust. The property also has a patio, deck, two car detached garage, and some trails. A rare find with proximity to Deep River, Essex and Chester villages for shops, restaurants, art galleries and more.
