This 3-bedroom home offers 1 full and 2 half baths, hardwood floors, stained-glass accents, vibrant interiors, and distinctive architectural touches throughout. Every space designed by the owner has its own personality, with colorful finishes, decorative details, and unexpected elements that make the home truly memorable. Beyond the residence, an extraordinary outdoor setting unfolds. Winding crushed-stone pathways connect lush gardens, vine-covered arbors, colorful outbuildings, and inviting gathering spaces. A magnificent stone archway, handcrafted walls embedded with crystals, and an eight-sided stone firepit create a striking centerpiece. The covered outdoor kitchen is an entertainer's dream, while an insulated outdoor office and three-season theater offer additional spaces for creativity and enjoyment. Thoughtfully designed to celebrate art, nature, and individuality, this remarkable property offers an experience that extends far beyond the walls of the home. The grounds have been thoughtfully transformed into a series of outdoor retreats, each offering something new to discover. The covered outdoor kitchen features Blaze cooking appliances, including a grill with rotisserie, griddle, and burners, along with built-in refrigeration, a sink, granite and Douglas pine countertops, an ice cream bar, and a charming breakfast nook. Stained-glass windows and decorative tilework, add to its distinctive character. The accessory spaces offer remarkable versatility. An insulated outdoor office provides a dedicated setting separate from the main residence, while the three-season theater and performance space features electricity and heat. Additional garden sheds, a bandstand, sheltered seating areas, and decorative structures contribute to the property's imaginative design. The impressive stone archway, walls, and firepit incorporate crystals collected from around the world. The stonework also includes materials sourced from Connecticut quarries in East Haven, Branford, and Roxbury. The gardens are equally captivating, with cherry trees, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapevines, fragrant herbs, and an abundance of flowering perennials. Golden trellises, colorful garden buildings, stained-glass installations, and handcrafted artistic details create a vibrant landscape that changes with the seasons. From peaceful garden hideaways to spaces designed for gathering and entertaining, every corner reflects the creativity and vision behind this extraordinary property.
