What's special

Homes like this rarely become available. Custom designed and built by the original owner, this impressive brick and stone Colonial is beautifully sited on a pristine acre-plus lot with seasonal reservoir views. The outdoor living space is exceptional, featuring an inground pool, patio, and tranquil water feature—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A dramatic two-story foyer with bridal staircase and cathedral ceiling creates a memorable first impression. The home offers generously sized rooms, exceptional millwork, hardwood floors, and abundant built-in storage throughout. Five bedrooms provide flexibility, including a luxurious primary retreat with private balcony overlooking the backyard, fireplace sitting area, and spa-like bath. The layout may also offer potential for multigenerational living with an inlaw or future ADU (buyer to verify). A truly special property combining quality, location and convenience. Close to The Bancroft School, major routes and town recreation center
