197 Rope Ferry Rd, Waterford, CT 06385

An exciting new price point for this beautifully maintained contemporary Colonial! Do NOT be fooled by this Rope Ferry address. Other than the convenience, this home's parcel, set far back from Route 1A, open yard secured by "sturdy" trees and its stonewall, along with features like its own vegetable garden, give this 2002 custom built 4BD | 3.5BA colonial an "estate" feel. Adding to the ambiance of this parcel's 1.65 acres is the abutting 10+ acres of protected land. A "one-owner", virtuously maintained home with elegant wrap-around porch, perfect for enjoying matured, manicured landscaping with unique plantings, oversized two car garage, large back deck for entertaining, sizeable, yet level yard to enjoy the outdoors and keep yard work simple. Enter into a well-lit center hall with a sophisticated floor plan & well-kept hardwoods, allowing for "easy" living and entertaining. Formal dining and living spaces to each side of the foyer, then opening up to the great room and gracious kitchen space with maple cabinets, granite countertops, copious storage, "updated" appliances and adjoining to the garage by way of the mudroom/laundry room with additional storage. The layout of the upper level affords privacy to the master bedroom & en-suite.

This master bath effortlessly evokes a spa setting: Separate walk-in shower and soaking tub, strategically placed window overlooking the back yard and protected land, flooded by natural sunlight by day and graced by recessed lighting and one room in which you'll want to take advantage of the built-in speaker system.
