Fine homes generate energy that enlivens. This home is its own power-plant! No matter the room, hour, or season, joy abounds in this home. A story-book entrance, with cathedral ceiling, welcomes guests. An English-style living room, anchored by an elegant fireplace and grand bay windows overlooking the grounds and brick patio, quietly echoes with enumerable conversations shared through the years. A brilliant floorplan creates ideal traffic flow via pass-throughs to a formal dining room with portals to a cozy library and charming fireplace. Double-hinged doors access a casual tavern-styled dining room. As expected, the kitchen is the most popular spot, and this one handles the task gracefully with an 18 ft center isle (w/ bar sink & in-counter blender). Chefs play on one side while guests & prep cooks gather on the other--no mid-kitchen collisions here. An amazing, recessed stove supports a range hood venting a 5-burner WOLF range set in an elegant granite counter with hand-crafted white-glazed-tile backsplash. Butcherblock counters contrast nicely with numerous oak cabinets for copious storage. From the top-shelf light-banks to a dramatic tile floor, this cooking space satisfies even the most invested foodies! Also on the 1st floor, are 3 bedrooms (1 currently a library), 2 full baths, a half bath, and endless closets. Upstairs, the majesty continues with 2 stately bedrooms and full bath on one end, an office and a vast master suite at the other. The master is entered via a hall library with dramatic high open-beam ceiling and walk-in closet (12x9). The high ceiling continues into the 30x20 ft grand bedroom - with fireplace. A dedicated bath (17x8) offers dual sinks, private loo, shower, bidet, and soaking tub. Above the 2nd-flr is an attic w/5x11 ft cedar closet. The expansive lower-level is unrivaled in space and amenities- another fireplace in the media room, a wall of closets to shelter every board game known to man, a dedicated laundry, billiards room, 45x14 ft shop, and 20x14 ft wine cave that les Confrrie des Chevaliers du Tastevin would love! The 4-acre grounds (ringed by 200 acs of undeveloped private land) extend the enjoyment. A heated in-ground pool, with new, incredibly durable gunite lining (19), has a dedicated pool house. The entire complex is encircled by a bluestone patio and landscaping. 2 detached garages, a 2-car with workshop, and 1-car drive-thru for tools & equipment.Norwich is a hot bed of delectable delights! Many know the success of Chobani Yogurt, and fine chefs know Norwich Meadows Farms (supplier to NYC 5-star chefs), but you may not know Siggi's Icelandic skyr started at Norwich's Evan's Farmhouse Creamery. This home was ground zero for School House Kitchen, a condiments company whose products were found on the shelves of Dean & Deluca and Whole Foods. What might be cookin' for you? Make this the start of something grand! Centrally located and just 3 hrs to the GWB and 2 hrs to Alba
