About This Home
Set on a breathtaking 3.62-acre cul-de-sac in highly sought-after Milford, this extraordinary estate offers over 5,200 square feet of refined living, where luxury meets serenity. From the moment you arrive, the setting captivates—rolling, tree-lined grounds, curated landscaping, and the kind of privacy rarely found. Inside, the home unfolds with intention and elegance. The gourmet center island kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring premium stainless steel appliances, expansive prep space, and seamless flow into the home’s grand living areas. The great room impresses with soaring vaulted ceilings, a stunning fieldstone fireplace, custom wet bar, and walls of windows that flood the space with natural light. Just beyond, a four-season sunroom invites you to slow down and take in panoramic views of your private oasis year-round. The walk-out lower level elevates the lifestyle even further—designed for both entertaining and retreat. Step outside to tiered decking, a pergola-covered lounge space, winding nature trails, and a spring-fed pond complete with a cascading waterfall—creating a setting that feels more like a private resort than a backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a true escape, featuring a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a custom tile shower, and a private water closet—designed for comfort, function, and quiet luxury. Additional features include a charming log cabin with electricity (perfect for a studio, retreat, or creative space), whole-house generator, copper gutters, UV-protected windows, and a fully irrigated, professionally maintained landscape. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a private estate where every detail has been thoughtfully designed for beauty, comfort, and connection to nature.
