Highest and Best deadline Sunday 8/27/2023 8:00PM. The Scandinavian flair of this bi-level home marries beautifully to the stunning 4.5 acre lot. The land has lush lawns with a canopy of large shade trees and large stone boulders, and a wooded back area with a seasonal water course. The gravel on asphalt driveway sweeps around to a two-car garage and there are steps to the front door and to the back door via an expansive pea-stone patio. The exterior of the house is cedar tongue-and-groove vertical siding and distinctive speckled Scandinavian white brick. The influence of the Scandinavian design is apparent throughout the interior of the house. The custom front entry lights are placed inside and outside divided by a large window. The brick is used in the entry hall and in the living room fireplace. From the main level of the house there is an expansive covered wrap deck looking both south and west that is reminiscent of the Deck House design. The foyer and dining room have slate floors, the living room and bedrooms are carpeted and there is vinyl flooring in the kitchen and ceramic tile in the baths. The kitchen is designed with European cabinets, Formica counters and new refrigerator and oven. There are three bedrooms on the main level including the primary bedroom which has an ensuite bath with shower. On the lower level there is a mud room with washer and dryer, a family room and two heated rooms, one being currently used as a workshop.
The two-car garage has newer overhead doors with automatic openers and both hot and cold running water in an outside shower and there is a changing room: a convenient place to get out of sandy swimsuits when returning from the beach. A unique feature of the property is an outbuilding that has great utility. It has electric power and lots of room. A half mile from the shores of Long Island Sound there is a small, town owned, beach called Shell Beach: good for taking a refreshing dip or launching a kayak or sailboard. Just a few miles from the historic Guilford town center and 20 minutes to New Haven, this home, on the west side of Guilford, has a wonderful location.
