145 Monarca Drive, Middletown, CT 06457

A one-of-a-kind custom-built new construction home that must be experienced in person to be appreciated. This modern contemporary farmhouse-style ranch sits on 2.38 acres of private land, positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac on a private road. From the moment you arrive, the exterior makes a lasting impression. Stone walls frame the driveway, guiding you past a thoughtfully designed approach w/a waterfall element & circular drive. The home's facade showcases board & batten siding, stone & striking black windows, gutters & trim. A covered front entry with a custom-built on-site front door & oversized 10-ft garage doors complete the curb appeal. Inside, every detail has been carefully designed & executed. Custom paneled walls conceal hidden features, including a discreet foyer closet & a hidden half bath accessed through the paneling along w/built-in storage for convenience. The open-concept living space is breathtaking, highlighted by soaring ceilings, exposed beams & a stunning central fireplace that anchors the home. The chef's kitchen is both beautiful & functional, featuring high-end cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, a large center island w/waterfall quartz edges & additional storage below. 1 wing of the home includes 2 guest bedrooms, a full bath & a cleverly enclosed laundry area finished walnut, keeping it completely out of sight. The primary suite offers a luxurious bath w/a walk-in shower, double vanities, walk-in closet, & a unique double-seater, lay-down soaking tub. On the opposite end of the home, you'll find a 4th bedroom or bonus space with its own en suite bathroom, ideal for guests. The walk-out lower level offers soaring ceilings & a separate entrance, presenting endless possibilities for future expansion, including an in-law suite. This home is the perfect blend of craftsmanship, design, and modern luxury-truly unlike anything else. All closets throughout the home are equipped with custom organization systems. Handmade cabinetry & custom millwork are showcased throughout. This home has a striking, modern rustic exterior that blends clean lines with natural materials. The structure is long and symmetrical, with multiple gabled rooflines that add depth and character while keeping a balanced, grounded feel. The exterior is finished in a dark charcoal siding, giving it a bold, contemporary look that contrasts beautifully with the lighter stonework along the base and around the central entryway. The front entrance is a focal point, framed by thick timber beams and warm wood accents that soften the darker tones of the house. A set of steps leads up to a covered porch, creating a welcoming transition into the home. Large, evenly spaced windows bring in natural light while maintaining the home's sleek, cohesive design. The house sits against a wooded backdrop, which enhances its peaceful, secluded feel. A curved driveway leads up to the entrance, bordered by simple landscaping that feels intentional but not overdone-young trees, fresh mulch beds, and open green space. A low stone wall near the front ties into the home's stone detailing, reinforcing the natural, earthy aesthetic. Overall, the exterior combines modern design with rustic warmth, creating a home that feels both sophisticated and comfortably connected to its surroundings. Monarca is a private road. $1,000/year covers road insurance, maintenance, plowing. The floor plan was a "4 bedroom" and there is a 4th bedroom/room with a full bathroom however the septic plan that was approved is for 3 bedrooms, but there is another room with a full bathroom if another space is needed on the main level. **please note ** this was listed previously and about to be put under contract only when the builder found out the code changed and in order to get a CO he needed to add a fire sprinkler system** it was installed throughout the home including the basement **
