Warmer days are right around the corner, and this is the kind of home that makes you excited for everything the season brings. Privately tucked on a rear lot at the end of a cul-de-sac lined with fine homes, this property offers a rare blend of elegance, tranquility, and lifestyle. Located in Durham - ideally halfway between New Haven and Hartford - you'll enjoy a peaceful setting while staying close to commuting routes, dining, and conveniences. The backyard feels like your own private resort with an inground pool featuring a gentle waterfall and elegant travertine surround - perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A separate stone patio invites outdoor dining and summer evenings under the stars, while the pool house adds charm and functionality. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the first level. The family room showcases cathedral ceilings and a cozy fireplace, opening seamlessly to the kitchen for easy everyday living. A spacious dining room is ideal for gatherings, complemented by formal living space and a dedicated first-floor home office or media room. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a full bath, walk-in closet, and quiet sitting room. Another bedroom has its own full bath, while two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill. A whole house generator and desirable three-car garage complete this exceptional home. Homes offering this combination of setting, outdoor living, and flexible interior space are rarely available - a true opportunity in today's market.
