Escape to 2.43 acres of luxury in the sought-after Dean's Ridge Association. This custom-built 5-bedroom Colonial sits perfectly on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering a sun-drenched, open floor plan and gleaming hardwoods. Enter into the two story foyer which flows into the Dining Room with wet bar and formal Living Room. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, granite counters, an abunance of eating space and a large center island-flowing seamlessly into a fireside family room. Retreat to the primary suite, where a private balcony overlooks a tranquil pond, complemented by a tray ceiling and a spa-like bath with a steam shower and hydro tub. With 3 oversized garage bays, nearby hiking trails, and optional pool access, this is East Lyme living at its finest.
