Step into a world of rest, relaxation and fun with this 5 bedroom, 3 ½ bath unique contemporary house on 1.27 acres of land and a pond rich in natural wildlife. Conveniently located off the highway on a cul-de-sac road in the old historic town of Orange.
It is less than 20 minutes from the cultural hub of downtown New Haven, internationally renown Yale University, University of New Haven, and an easy 1 ½ hour Metro North train commute from Grand Central Station in NYC. This is ideal for City dwellers looking for a nearby vacation getaway, or those visiting New England to sightsee, and enjoy the change of season at an easy relaxing pace.
The house is uniquely designed with an open, spacious floor plan, that includes hardwood floors, oversized picture windows, sliding glass patio doors, cathedral ceilings and skylights, a sunken living room, sunken family room, two large fireplaces, wet bar, conversation pit with TV, a garden patio, and two decks, one overlooking the pond and the other, a small yard that provides feeders, baths and nest sites attractive to songbirds.
Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the warm early morning sun on garden patio with the soft, soothing sound of the water flowing from the nearby stone wall fountain, or doze in the enclosed porch hammock that overlooks the pond and side garden. Swans, geese and ducks are year round residents along with occasional visits by a great blue heron, egret and sharp-shinned hawk.
Downtown New Haven hosts well known theatres, international restaurants, music centers, art galleries, museums and college sports arenas. Grassy Hill Country Club public golf course, one of several, is two minutes away, as is an open air farm market with fresh produce and fruit in the growing season.
Visit Ansonia Nature Center, the New Haven Sound School, or the Milford Audubon Society Nature Preserve, and learn about the indigenous woodland and water habitat; or bask in the sun, swim and collect shells along Long Island Sound beaches less than 10 minutes away.
Several biking and hiking trails are in the immediate area, and Boston Post Road offers a wide selection of major stores, with shopping malls and plazas lining the main road less than three miles away. Chapel Street in New Haven hosts unique boutiques along side small cafes. Planet Fitness and LA Fitness are also nearby. The Town of Orange also hosts festivals, carnivals, fairs and other major events throughout the year.
