This welcoming home is nestled privately on 2.26 picturesque acres off of the scenic private accessway "Lois Lane", just steps to Putnam Memorial State Park, known as Connecticut's Valley Forge. The park preserves the site that Major General Israel Putnam chose as the winter encampment for his men in 1778-1779 during the Revolutionary War, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition, the park's 183 acres include facilities for hiking, picnicking, fishing, and winter sports. The idyllic private location is just one of the compelling features of this charming country ranch with 1,768 sf, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 fireplaces. This home lives larger with its modern open floor plan. The generous living room with floor to ceiling brick fireplace and warm hardwood floors, opens directly to the sunny dining room with bay window, and bright kitchen featuring a long peninsula for prepping and serving, elegant cabinetry, walls of windows, and access to the rear deck for panoramic views of the property. The main level features 3 bedrooms, updated full bath, and open stairs with wrought iron railing to the lower level where you'll find plenty of more room to spread out. The lower level offers the inviting family room with second floor to ceiling brick fireplace flanked by built-in book/display shelving; the large ensuite 4th bedroom with private full bath; laundry room; and access to the attached 2 car garage; all just 62 miles to Midtown!
