About the Home

HOUSE UPDATED! Nestled in a scenic country setting alongside a babbling brook that is surrounded by beautiful rock outcroppings, this center hall Colonial borders an 835-acre parcel of protected Audubon land and offers several unique features, including two fireplaces, a den with wet bar, a 775 s.f. deck, and a balcony off the expansive primary bedroom that overlooks a spectacular natural vista. The main level encompasses a spacious living room with fireplace and built-in book shelves, a den with stone FP, an eat-in kitchen, and formal dining room - all with gleaming hardwood floors. There is also a mud room/laundry room and a finished bonus room over the garage - ideal as an office or studio. On the upper level are three bedrooms, including a primary bedroom suite with vaulted ceilings, large walk-in closet and sliders to the balcony. Recent improvements include newly-refinished hardwood floors, newly painted exterior and interiors, four new sets of patio doors, new balcony off the primary bedroom, new carpeting, and new walkway. Located on a bucolic road that is minutes from the New York border (and Metro North trains) and a short drive to the quaint town of Sherman where residents have access to a private beach on Candlewood Lake, several tennis courts, jogging track, ball fields and playground. The adjacent Audobon Preserve is within strolling distance and includes a network of 20 miles of trails. Just 90 minutes to NYC and a great full-time or weekend country home.
