Active May 13th. Enter by a tree-lined private drive to reach this meticulously cared-for home and nearly 14 acres of park-like grounds, just moments from the CT River, the iconic Hadlyme ferry, and Gillette’s Castle. The remarkable setting is one of those rare and incomparable scenes with gently rolling expanses of lush green lawns appointed with beautiful mature Cedars and 200-year-old Maples. The open plan home is in immaculate condition, having had the benefit of 2 recent major renovations, including additions of a window-wrapped sunroom/study, breakfast nook, front porch, expansive Trex deck, completely new kitchen, all new roofing, radiant floor heat, A/C, new generator, and many other updates and improvements throughout the light-filled home, with beautiful views from every window. The family room's 12 ft. slider opens to the deck and a stunning view, lovingly improved upon during the property exterior's complete re-landscaping. A large basement is organized for expansive storage with a full fitness room and finish possibilities. This retreat is a unique combination of peace and privacy in a tranquil setting, with convenient proximity to the East Haddam village and the CT shoreline. East Haddam has been named “One of the Best Places to Love” by the NYTimes, and is also home to the renowned “Goodspeed Opera House.” It is situated halfway between NY and Boston with convenient access to major interstates, railway, international airports, and ferry services.
