Middlebury's finest example of yesteryear, this c.1900 vintage 9 room colonial has all the updates that will make you fall in love with it as soon as you enter, plus it is located on desirable Tranquility Road surrounded by some of the area's finest estates flanked by stonewalls around Lake Quassapaug. The open circular flow floor plan really starts with a kitchen "to die for" that boasts custom cabinets with marble countertops, all high-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolfe & Meile), a gorgeous contrasting walnut and quarter sawn oak floor and a huge island and bright dining area. A butler's pantry leads to a dining room with 2 sets of french doors with easy access to a deck or leading to the living room with a fireplace. The main level has a "roomy" feel throughout including the office/den. The upper level has 5 spacious bedrooms all with hardwood floors and all the bathrooms are remodeled. A unique 312 SF guest house and an oversized 2 car garage with a storage bay and a circular driveway with a center island completes this open and level 1.37 acre lot only 1-1/2 hours from NYC.
