55 Metacomet Rd, Farmington, CT 06032

Located on the iconic Metacomet Trail, this home will delight and inspire those who enjoy living each season intimately with nature. Gorgeously private, at the end of a cul-de-sac, it sits on a hillside with views from every window. Sunshine beams into the generous chef’s kitchen (two ovens) through windows and skylights, accessorized with cherry cabinets, polished granite, and handsome stone. The open floor plan offers dramatic sight lines throughout - capturing light, angles, and shadows. An adjacent large sitting area warmed by a stone fireplace, is the perfect to relax. Framed by a sweeping arch and columns, the distinctive dining room is further enhanced with built-in cabinetry. The two-story family room is a masterpiece of inventive glass and light. Wide double doors lead to a slate patio, firepit, and the landscaped grounds. A first-floor guest room and bath are bathed in light, and the large laundry room is a plus for muddy hikers. Upstairs, the sunny Master Bedroom is huge with a sitting area, workout space, walk-in closet, and lovely spa bath, complete with heated floors. Guest rooms are bright with good closet space, and an upstairs office, like all the rooms, features beautiful vistas. The two tandem, four car garage has plenty of additional space for kayaks, bikes, and skis, in addition to a work bench. With a circular drive and gorgeous plantings, complementing the woods beyond, this private oasis is more than a home, it is a gift.
