Nestled on 1.646 acres, this cozy cape is situated on a quiet road in New Preston near the White Horse Pub & Restaurant, the village of New Preston and Lake Waramaug, yet under 10 miles to the Village Green in New Milford. The three-level home boasts seven rooms, including two bedrooms – with the possibility of three – two full bathrooms, an open kitchen and dining room ideal for entertaining, a full garage, a mudroom and plenty of storage throughout. The home’s features include, on the main level, a living room with wood paneling and a large picture window overlooking the spacious yard; a kitchen with teak countertops, a gas stove, modern appliances, under-cabinet lighting, plenty of storage, a “phone booth” nook, and space for a small breakfast table; an open dining room with a cathedral ceiling, skylights, a bay window, wooden beams, a double-sided gas fireplace (shared with the sunroom), French doors leading to the sunroom and a bar/counter shared with the kitchen; a bedroom (next to a full bathroom) with a traditional built-in dresser and a closet; an office/den featuring a large built-in desk with shelves and storage, and access to the patio; and an all-season sunroom. The carpeted master bedroom suite, measuring 26’7” x 12’6”, is located on the upper level of the house, and features a built-in vanity with plenty of storage, a spacious walk-in closet, views of the yard and a full bathroom with a claw-foot tub, double sinks and a tiled walk-in shower. A mudroom on the lower level of the house has two entrances off the garage and serves as the perfect place to warm up during the winter after sledding down the yard’s sloping hill or cool down while mowing the lawn. A highlight of the room is a stone fireplace, with the stone extending along a second wall where large windows allow for light to filter through. The master bedroom, dining room, kitchen and office have modern updates that complement the house’s overall charm. Hardwood floors run throughout, except for the sunroom. Closets are abundant in the house. In addition, storage space includes a large crawl space off the master bedroom’s walk-in closet and spacious storage above the sunroom. A private, custom flagstone patio rounds out this home’s features.
