From the moment you step through the front door of this enchanting single-floor ranch, you've entered a truly special home. Luxurious, meticulously-maintained cherry wood floors spread throughout spacious, warm, inviting rooms flooded with natural light. Next, your eyes will be drawn to even more special details - the wood ceiling beams, built-in corner cabinets, a cozy bonus room perfect as a home office or converted to a 3rd bedroom, and a recently-serviced, stately gas fireplace that can be easily reverted back to wood-burning. The full bathroom was tastefully renovated in 2020 and has a huge walk-in shower. The inviting open kitchen showcases modern finishes, and a sunlight-drenched, beautiful breakfast nook with a propane wall fireplace creates the ideal space for morning coffee. Recessed lighting was recently installed in the living and dining rooms along with updated electrical work and professional paint. And the special appeal doesn't stop inside! Off of the kitchen is an enviable covered porch that looks out over an expansive stone patio, perfect for entertaining or enjoying meals outdoors. The 2-acre mostly-flat lot is storybook adorable, from the low stone walls that line the property to the raised vegetable garden beds. All of this gives the sense that you've escaped to the country, yet it's just a mere 8 min to the Merritt, 25 min to New Haven, and easy access to Metro North trains into Manhattan. Home is 1 mile west of charming Huntington Green. Everything u

need from multiple retail stores is minutes away. For recreation, get out your bikes, skis, hiking shoes, fishing gear, kayaks, tack, and golf clubs -- it's all close by. A quick 15 min drive will land you at multiple coastal beaches for summertime fun! Stroll through quaint towns, explore local shops, go antiquing, and enjoy many fantastic restaurants. I could rave forever about this one-of-a-kind home, but I still wouldn't do it justice. So, why not swing by and fall in love with it yourself?
