42 Shailer Pond Rd, Deep River, CT 06417

The first thing you notice as you drive by this home is that its different from the vast majority of Cape Cod homes and that distinction doesn’t end with the exterior. You will notice the 3 perfectly spaced dog house dormers set above the full length porch supported by six bright white Doric Columns atop an a beautiful and low maintenance mahogany deck. This pristine 4 bedroom, 2 full and 2 half bathroom home is beautifully situated on a generous 1.84 acre lot and backs up to Cranberry Pond. The two car attached garage is situated so as not to see the doors from the street as well. The view straight ahead as you step into the foyer of this immaculate cape is over gleaming hardwood floors and past delightful bright white, built-in open shelves and storage drawers under the oak and poplar staircase. Beyond is the great room with sliders allowing access to the large deck and where one of two brick corner fireplaces in the home can be enjoyed. Beautiful glass paned French doors with fixed overhead 6 glass pane transom, frame both the formal dining room to the left, the living room to the right. The formal living room is appointed with the second beautiful wood burning corner fireplace.

The hallway where one accesses the attached garage, coat closet, and powder room is too beautiful to refer to as a “mud room” with it’s warm wood floors, Stafford casing trim, wainscoting, chair rail, and recessed lighting. The kitchen is styled in a timeless black and white replete with brilliant granite, a light and bright bay window for wider verdant views, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances over hardwood floors. The over sized pantry offers extra storage space. As you ascend the staircase and bear left you’ll find two spacious guest bedrooms, both with knee-wall storage, wall to wall carpeting, generous reach-in closets, and attic access. The full tile bathroom off the adjoining hall offers a tub and shower along with a granite topped vanity with white under mount sink. A smartly designed and wonderful home office/studio can be found on the way to the master bedroom suite. It’s loaded with built-in bookshelves, flat files, and desks. The French doors open to the unique master bedroom design which offers a dramatic cathedral ceiling that can be viewed over a half-wall on the way past the en suite full bathroom atop heated Carrera marble tile flooring and replete with walk-in shower, jetted tub, and rich wood vanity. The spacious master bedroom offers sliders to a private veranda to enjoy fresh air and the view.
