This spacious and exceptionally well-cared-for home offers huge sun-filled rooms, timeless character, and a peaceful park-like setting. The dramatic family room features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and walls of windows overlooking the property. A 33-foot country kitchen showcases stainless steel appliances, exposed brick, beams, abundant dining space, and natural light throughout. Hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, a sunroom with sliders, and a finished lower level add warmth and flexibility to the home's layout. Outdoor living is equally inviting with an oversized deck, patio, sprawling lawn, mature landscaping, and a hot tub creating a private retreat atmosphere. Additional highlights include central air, main-level laundry, and an attached two-car garage. Surrounded by Echo Valley's rolling landscape and tranquil wildlife settings while remaining convenient to town amenities, shopping, dining, and commuting routes, this is a rare opportunity to own a classic Connecticut Colonial in one of Newtown's most desirable locations.
