This house has style! plus perfection in construction, design, finish detail and location! enter into a long driveway which circles around to the front of the house for guests, and veers off to the right for easy access to the attached garage with two bays, and a separate two car garage. Mature plantings cascade over stone walls; hummingbirds whirl around the many feeders in this totally private and secluded estate. Guests step up onto a long wrap around porch with pillars. Two rockers await. Through the front door, a lovely vaulted entryway with mosaic floors gleams with quality. Off to the right, through french doors, is a dining room with marquetry floors and detailed ceiling, big enough to seat 14 or more. To the left of the entry is a coffered ceiling den overlooking the front yard and porch. A formal living room is adjacent and opens up to a two storied family room, its walls almost all glass. Both living room and family room open to stone patios with a pool yet are cozy and gracious enough to entertain both family and many guests. The family room opens to a fabulous kitchen with three ovens, granite counter-tops, a cook's stove, a dining area, butler's pantry and an adjoining laundry room with farmhouse sink and drawers for wild bird seed. Also on the first floor is a beautiful master bedroom with huge closets and opulent bathroom. French doors open to the sparkling pool surrounded by stone patios, a poolhouse, and stone terraces climbing up the hill. The poolhouse has its own sink, double fridges, showers, changing and lounging areas for guests. Upstairs, a comfortable entertainment area services the three guest bedrooms. With two full baths, this whole second floor is gracious and charming. Downstairs, the basement proffers state of the art mechanicals and a wired area for an at home theatre. As if this were not enough, the house is part of the elegant talcott farm association with two tennis courts, a boat dock on the famed lieutenant river and hiking trails to nearby historic old lyme village. True quality throughout!
