16 Susan Terrace, Waterford, CT, 06385 | $1,000,000

Don't let the photos speak for themselves, come see this custom design/build for yourself. Situated on almost 3 acres in the Great Neck area of Waterford, this contemporary colonial home is sure to please everyone. From the moment you pull onto the property you will see details unlike no other home, from the driveway trimmed with crushed stone and lighting to the sweeping professionally landscaped yard to the custom koi pond, custom paved wood burning fire pit and oversized Trex deck to fit any sized party. This is a home that almost takes care of itself with an easily maintained exterior of stone, stucco and wood shakes. The custom copper detail over the bay window is just another added touch. The traditional look of the outside changes to a WOW modern look on the inside. Once through the door, you are greeted with 2 story, 18 ft ceilings in the foyer with an open walkway of the upper loft that overlooks the elegant great room. First glance says minimalistic, but don't be fooled, there are subtle details everywhere from the almost vanishing wall clock, custom moldings with LED lighting and the floor to ceiling propane fireplace with TV and sound system. Need to work at home, there is a large office with walk in closet just off the foyer with French doors and plenty of built-in shelving. Just across the foyer is the formal dining room with soft lighting and a great view of the front yard. See the additional remarks for more details of this special home. The custom designed kitchen with oversized quartz-topped island, stainless appliances including a 6 burner Jenn Air propane stove provides plenty of work space from the novice cook to the culinary gourmet. Just off the kitchen is slider to the deck which is a great place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee while watching the sun come up or just enjoying the natural country setting. Rounding out the main level is a full bath just in case you need the office to be used as another bedroom. At the top of the accent lighted mahogany staircase you will find 4 bedrooms including the generously sized primary suite with 2 large walk in closets, a bonus room currently used for exercising, private balcony overlooking the rear yard and an impressive private bath with custom tilework, separate shower and tub. Conveniently located on the upper level is the first laundry room. . . . yes, there is another in the lowest level. The finished lower level is ideal for extended family, overnight guests or a great place to watch your favorite TV entertainment. With a complete kitchen, laundry and full bath with steam shower, your guests may never leave! The oversized garage with custom doors has plenty of room for 2 cars plus all your other tools and toys. Must be seen to be truly appreciated.
