Description:

This one-of-a-kind brick home, designed by Emil Dahlquist of Dahlquist Architects, combines timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Set on nearly two acres of manicured lawns and professional landscaping, the property offers a private retreat surrounded by mature trees, a circular driveway, and sweeping views of Talcott Mountain and Heublein Tower. Inside, a grand marble entryway welcomes you into the dramatic two-story living room, complete with a marble fireplace and soaring floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views of the deck, backyard, and natural surroundings. The home's thoughtful layout allows each first-floor room to flow seamlessly into the next through open doorways and passages, creating a circular design that makes both daily living and entertaining effortless. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, almond-glazed custom cabinetry, and professional-grade DCS appliances, including double ovens and a five-burner gas cooktop. A large granite island anchors the space, while walls of windows bring in natural light and frame the landscape. The kitchen opens to a casual dining area with direct access to the mahogany deck and connects through a butler's pantry to a formal dining room, currently styled as a cozy living space. A study with a full bath offers flexibility as a guest suite, while a mudroom with built-ins, cabinetry, and laundry area adds convenience.
