Remarks
A Modern Colonial Retreat, 83 Upper Shad Road, is situated on 2.25 private, level acres in the heart of Pound Ridge. Mature trees and professionally designed landscaping create a serene, park-like environment, with an in-ground pool and manicured green expanses that surround the home. (Did I forget to mention the babbling brook at the corner of the property?) The home features a primary bedroom suite plus 2 additional, generously sized bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, living room, den, formal dining room and kitchen with center island. The finished lower level adds an open-plan living area with a large office, library, entertainment center, and full bath. The heart of the home is a breathtaking living room featuring double-height, vaulted ceilings and classic wood-burning fireplace. French doors open to the patio dining area and offer clear views of the private backyard and sparkling heated pool. Adjacent to the living room, a separate den and large dining room open onto each other, making the space perfect when hosting large gatherings. The Chef’s kitchen features a large central island and abundant cabinets with room for a cozy breakfast nook. The formal dining room adjoins the kitchen, while the kitchen backdoor flows directly onto a private deck--an ideal BBQ space overlooking the pool and gardens. Just beyond the deck is a large stone patio perfect for seasonal dinners. The gated sparkling gunite pool and expansive deck area are flanked by lush flowering landscaping including magnificent rhododendron, Japanese maples, hydrangeas, and an array of colorful flowering plantings. A cedar shed, an attached 2-car garage and Invisible fencing help keep your cars and tools snow-free and your pets secure. The total square footage of the home includes the large finished lower level. The location offers exceptional convenience, just minutes from shopping and dining in Pound Ridge, Bedford, New Canaan, Stamford and Ridgefield. Commuters will appreciate the easy access to the Merritt Parkway and I-684, as well as the nearby Metro-North stations.
