In a private wooded setting close to all, this spacious and stately-looking raised ranch offers 3 bedrooms upstairs, an eat-in kitchen, large living room with brick fireplace, central air conditioning and an oversized picture window for enjoying magnificent sunsets.  A formal dining room with French doors leads out to a huge wraparound screened porch that brings the outdoors in.  The downstairs has a large den/family room with a brick fireplace and a full bath, separate home office and laundry room.  The 2.7-plus acre property includes front and back yards with plenty of room for a playset and touch football, surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. The hamlet of Scotts Corners, lined with shops and restaurants, is an easy walk or bike ride along a paved protected path.  In the opposite direction, the path leads to the Pound Ridge Town Park, about a mile away, with its pool, tennis courts, ballfields and day camp.  Golf courses, the historic town of Bedford, and the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation are just a few of the other gems in the surrounding area. 12 Upper Shad Road offers the best of all worlds: beautiful natural surroundings and easy access to multiple amenities in an active community with a small town feel, nestled between Bedford and New Canaan.
