All the beloved attributes of a center hall Colonial are here. What makes this home shine even brighter is its lush surroundings. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac, the one-acre property offers luxurious privacy and a versatile base for relaxing with family and friends. A sizable deck off the kitchen overlooks the backyard and inviting pool. An expansive patio has room for several seating/lounging areas; a table-top fire pit adds coziness on cool summer nights & warmth for winter stargazing. This outdoor living space is easily accessible via deck staircase or sliders from the walk-out lower-level. The main level floor plan: foyer; formal living and dining rooms; eat-in kitchen; family room with brick fireplace (gas insert); powder room. Upstairs: primary bedroom w/full bath & double closets; 3 additional bedrooms; full bath in hall, and 2 separate attic spaces. The lower level has a rec room (w/sliders to patio) and an exercise/storage room. Dogwood Acres is a charming neighborhood with a small pond & protected land: depending on the season, bring your rowboat or ice skates! Red Barn Lane is convenient to I-84, Rtes 25, 7 & 202, & Federal Rd shopping/dining. Also nearby: Sunset Hill Golf Course; Town Municipal Campus w/ballfields, playground, bandstand, summer concerts & farmer's market, and access to the Still River Greenway; Happy Landings & other Open Space Land, and of course, Candlewood Lake!
