Located in the coastal Pine Orchard district of Branford, this 6,075 square foot residence features a modern New England gable-styled aesthetic. The symmetrically balanced front elevation features a dramatic 12:12 roof pitch, striking fieldstone chimney, and wrap around porch. The exterior is comprised of a mix of shiplap, cedar shingle, and vertical siding, locally quarried stone base, ipe wood balconies, and oversized double hung windows.
The house features an open floor plan with a generously sized kitchen, dining and living areas, five bedrooms and five baths. The 10 foot kitchen island is centered on an array of 6 casement windows with transoms, maximizing daylight and views to the wooded property. The interior is appointed with wood paneling, wide oak flooring, and built-in millwork.
Situated on 1 acre, the buildings form an L-shaped configuration which provides a boundary along the rectangular in-ground pool. The attached three car garage features a second story private apartment with a separate entrance, cupola, and standing seam metal roof.
