Absolutely NOT a DRIVE-BY! Looks can be oh so deceiving in this 2,550 +/-sf split level in desirable Laurel Mill Farms that's all about the personal touches and finite details! This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath gem was expanded and completely remodeled in 2008 to include a master suite w/8x7 walk-in closet, master bath w/marble shower and cedar barrel ceiling. Upper level also contains three additional bedrooms with ceiling fans and full bath. The kitchen is a cooks dream-stainless appliance package, double oven, ceramic tile flooring, granite counter tops and a work area with maple counters and ample additional work/storage space. Kitchen leads to an open and bright dining room with bay window and wood flooring. The lower level must be seen to truly be appreciated! Heated marble floors, concrete topped bar with wet bar, ice maker and refrigerator, built in bookshelves, wood burning fireplace, recessed lighting and built in Boston Accoustics speakers make this THE place for entertaining! And don't forget the wine cellar with ceramic tile floors and exterior access through over-sized garage/workshop or side door. This room also has the potential for a possible home office w/private entrance, and a laundry area and 1/2 bath complete the lower level. The screened patio is perfect for outdoor entertaining and contains a hot tub which will remain. The rear fenced yard includes an outdoor grilling area, koi pond, exterior lighting and shed for extra storage-your own private outdoor oasis! Hardwood, marble and ceramic tile flooring throughout with the kitchen, master bath and family room floors heated. Recessed lighting, crown molding and wainscoating throughout, upgraded 200 amp service, high velocity CAC and stainless steel boiler, and multi-zone gas heat are some of the additional features you'll find in this one of a kind Stratford home! Come and see for yourself and you will not be disappointed!
