This beautiful home is sited quietly on a 3.8 acre peninsula with manicured lawns sweeping down to 570ft of water frontage and a deep water dock with power. Nearly all rooms enjoy the spectacular views of the Cove extending all the way to the CT River. The entire house has been recently custom renovated from top to bottom by master craftsmen and includes: New mechanicals, all state of the art appliances, radiant heating, eight zone Sonos sound system, surveillance security system, and whole house generator. Sunlight streams through the kitchen skylights. The large open living room, with a gas fireplace, has wall of windows facing the Cove. French doors lead out to a stone patio flanked by two screened porches, making it ideal for entertaining. The first floor master suite has wrap around views and its own balcony. The tiled bath with a travertine topped vanity and twin sinks. The lower level includes an office space, a wet bar, and a full bath. Its wall of glass sliders look out to the Cove and open to a stone patio. All the gardens are professionally designed; lighted bluestone pathways are edged with Belgian brick. The bocce ball court is tournament grade. A water feature is remotely controlled to change the back lighting of colors and adds to the magic of this very special property. This is a rare opportunity to own such a tasteful, direct waterfront home in Hamburg Cove, known for its protected and calm water.
