602 Durham Road delivers the lifestyle living by the shoreline is known for, starting the moment you pull into the circular driveway. The covered front porch sets the tone, but the backyard is the headline: a resort-caliber outdoor environment anchored by an in-ground pool, hot tub, covered patio with TV, outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, oversized high-top bar, pizza oven, basketball court, bocce court, putting green, and a flat park-like yard with manicured gardens and outdoor shower. A fully equipped pool house with electricity, refrigerator, and deep freezer completes the picture. This is the home people gather at - every weekend, all summer long. Inside, 2,248 square feet of polished, move-in ready living space matches the energy of the exterior. The kitchen is built for the home cook who takes it seriously - Wolf propane range, granite countertops, fresh backsplash, and generous counter space that flows openly into the dining room, where a beadboard ceiling and gas log fireplace create an atmosphere that's relaxed and refined at the same time. Hosting a dinner party or a casual Sunday morning, this space handles both effortlessly.
The large family room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with blower - the kind of room that earns its name, wide open and genuinely livable. A well-designed mudroom with built-ins, double closet, and separate entrance keeps daily life organized, with a flex room off the mudroom that functions perfectly as a home office, playroom, or creative space. A half bath off the kitchen rounds out the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite features a generous walk-in closet with a custom California closet system and dedicated electrical for a built-out vanity or dressing station - details that signal this home was designed with intention. Two additional well-sized bedrooms, two full baths, and a second-floor laundry complete the upper level. Relocating from New York, Boston, or beyond - 602 Durham Road sits two hours from New York City and Boston, with easy access to Hartford and New Haven. You're not giving up convenience; you're trading the noise for something better. The 2-car detached garage offers ample storage, and the infrastructure is dialed in: whole-house generator, hot water heater replaced 2024, and a replaced well pump. Madison's shoreline, dining, and community aren't a weekend getaway from here - they're your everyday life.
