Presented for the first time on the market, is this custom cape-style home on 2.76 acres in a quaint cul-de-sac neighborhood, just minutes from Storrs Downtown & UConn and with scenic views of preserved farmland across the street. Thoughtfully designed with both function and ease of maintenance in mind, the home showcases superior craftsmanship and enduring quality. The exterior is enhanced with a stone facade, granite steps, paver walkways, a brick chimney, durable vinyl siding & windows, and composite decking. Inside discover elegant accents like upgraded trim details and rich stained oak hardwood floors. The grounds are nothing short of an entertainer's dream. In 2021, the backyard was transformed into a private resort-style oasis, complete with a heated inground gunite pool & spa, encircled by a paver patio, professional landscaping, and an elegant black fence. A custom pavilion provides shaded space for dining and relaxation, complemented by a Trex deck that extends the outdoor living experience. From the attached 2-car garage, enter a smartly designed mudroom with a half bath and walk-in pantry. The gourmet kitchen features a spacious island and flows easily into the dining and living rooms. A dedicated home office or den with glass French doors provides a quiet retreat on the main level for work or study.
