In the heart of South Kent, off a quiet country road, close to South Spectacle Lake, is this custom designed Colonial offering lots of privacy, wonderful outdoor spaces and spacious interiors. And for the fortunate new homeowners, they'll be part of the Spectacle Ridge Association with lake rights and a clubhouse and tennis courts shared by the association community. The many wonderful features of this home include a light-filled Living Room/Great Room with a vaulted ceiling, wood burning fireplace, oak flooring, oversized windows and doors that open to a generous deck. The open floor plan leads to the Dining Room and Kitchen with granite counters, and beyond, a screened-in porch. Plus there's a Library with built-in cherry wood bookshelves, an elegant hallway with vaulted ceiling and a smaller living room with its own access to the porch. With three bedrooms and three full baths, including a master bedroom suite on the 2nd floor and two additional bedrooms with a shared bath, there's also potential for a 4th bedroom on the first floor, taking advantage of the full bath on the same level. If you're looking for a peaceful and beautiful sanctuary, yet one near the charming village of Kent, hiking trails, and all kinds of activities and diversions, this is your opportunity. And with Metro North trains close by and New York City a few hours away, the advantages add up.
