Rare and Remarkable Private, quiet, mountainside retreat. This freestanding home in the Long Estate has been graciously renovated to capture the vibrance of its surroundings. Soaring windows and ceilings soak in the beauty of the dogwoods, arborvitae, rhododendron and forsythia carpeting the grounds. Designers opened the floor plan to complement the spacious ceilings and provide a sanctuary of light and life. The kitchen and family room create a magnificent space anchored by a commanding gas fireplace with views of the countryside from two-story windows. An enviable gas cooktop embedded in the 7' granite island complements this upscale chef's kitchen. Thoughtful selections of granite, tile, and custom cabinetry beautifully accent the sophisticated style - while storage abounds. Running the length of the space, a massive deck easily accommodates a large summer gathering. The kitchen opens to a sizeable, sunny dining room – unique to this home. Embrace the towering inspiring living room. A first floor primary bedroom suite is a sanctuary bathed in sunlight, with a marble spa bath and h/h walk in closets. Upstairs the landing space offers multiple options for customization, and the two bedrooms are bright with good closets. A massive whole house generator will run everything, and storage is immense in the LL and the two-car garage. Plus the water is unparalleled - from a pure spring aquifer. Minutes from Avon, Simsbury & West Hartford, but tucked away in a world of its own.
