Beautiful and sunny custom-built Colonial with 2-car Garage and Artist Studio on 1.66 private acres, walking distance to Stonington Village. Unique opportunity to live in a truly fabulous location set back from the road in a neighborhood of elegant properties. This home offers easy one-level living for the owner with a large, sunny living room with a gas stove, a lovely formal dining room, a country kitchen with a butcher block breakfast island and a built-in desk, and an adjacent laundry/hobby room. Just down the hall is a large primary bedroom suite bathed in natural light with a large walk-in closet, wall-to-wall carpeting, and a full bath with a large soaking tub/shower updated in 2016. Upstairs, there are 2 additional bedrooms with skylights and a full bathroom with a shower. Well-placed skylights throughout the house assist in its passive solar design, while the size and pitch of the South-facing roof make this home an excellent candidate for active solar in the future. Detached 2-car garage offers a workshop and 2 separate garage bays on the 1st level and a large, sunny artist’s studio with plenty of storage on the 2nd level. The house is set on a lovely, private lot surrounded by lawn and well-placed trees. The back 1/3 of the property is lightly wooded and offers possibilities for future landscaping, walking paths, or garden areas.
