Description

Tucked toward the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully maintained home offers privacy, thoughtful updates, and exceptional outdoor living spaces. The stunning grounds feature years of curated landscaping, natural stone retaining walls, and newer paver walkways that immediately set the tone for the care this property has received. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the multiple areas designed for relaxing or entertaining. The expansive front deck provides elevated sunset & seasonal views of Mount Hope River Valley, while the covered back deck offers a more intimate connection to the backyard and tree line. A covered stone patio beneath the front deck adds yet another functional outdoor space to enjoy in any weather. Inside, the home welcomes you with an open, light filled floor plan. The kitchen, remodeled in 2025, features elegant white cabinetry, granite countertops, a full-size pantry closet, and access to the three glass sliders that open to the front deck, filling the space with natural light. The spacious front to back living room includes a fireplace with wood burning insert, creating a warm gathering space. A dedicated main level home office with a glass door provides the privacy needed for remote work. A convenient laundry/half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite includes its own private bath along with built in shelving and storage areas. A second full bath serves the other two bedrooms. The finished walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility for additional living space. Currently used as a family room and guest area, it includes two generously sized rooms, a walk-in closet with custom organizer, and plumbing already in place for a future full bath. With two dedicated entrances from the driveway, this level is ideal for multi-generational living, an in-law setup, or a private guest suite. A custom-built workshop/shed provides additional storage and space for hobbies. Major improvements include a new foundation in 2021, roof in 2021, and well pump in 2020, offering peace of mind for years to come. Located within 3 miles to the Mansfield Public Library and Elementary School, Lion's Memorial Park, Mount Hope Park, and Southworth Preserve with connection to Mansfield Hollow State Park. Centrally located between UConn and ECSU, giving buyers easy access to campus amenities, events, and year-round activities.
