Welcome to this beautifully maintained, almost-new home built in 2024, featuring a flexible and thoughtfully designed layout with incredible potential.

The attached floor plans are available to help showcase the possibilities. Set on a spacious and private lot, this almost-new home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, functionality, and timeless design. Filled with natural light, the inviting layout features generously sized bedrooms, stylish bathrooms, and expansive living spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Built with thoughtful long-term quality in mind, the home also features a protected sleeved water line system designed to provide added insulation, durability, and easier future maintenance accessibility if ever needed. The basement was also designed with a built-in drain system for convenient clean up and added peace of mind. The septic system features an additional pump/dosing tank that assists with efficient distribution to the leaching fields - a valuable feature often found in higher-end or engineered systems. A standout feature is the elegant foyer chandelier equipped with an automatic lift system, allowing it to be lowered and raised with the touch of a button for easy cleaning and maintenance. Enjoy the peaceful backyard setting with plenty of space to relax or entertain, while being conveniently located near parks, shopping, restaurants, major highways, and Quinnipiac University.
