Four bedrooms in total, each with full bath en suite; including a guest "apartment" over the garage. The focal point of the home is the spacious fully equipped kitchen/great room with adjacent dining room. This core of the house has river views and deck access for wonderful indoor/outdoor flow. Also on the first floor you will find an office conveniently nearby the kitchen. The family room has a vaulted ceiling and propane fireplace complemented by granite surround. This room features impressive custom cabinetry and bookshelves. Not included in the total 4410sf of luxurious living area is a very useful walk-out lower level with game/exercise room and office. It's just steps from this space to the dock. From the dock, a channel provides easy access to the CT River and LIS. In addition to the attached garage, a 23x37 barn awaits your toys.
