84 Singleton Rd, Chaplin, CT 06235

What happens when an engineer and artist design the house of their dreams: 84 Singleton Road in Chaplin. Drive into the shaded driveway, park in the walled carport, and view your 5-acre garden and wood lot. Step into the stunning atrium of your 1984-built home with wood paneling throughout, a 6-foot wide stone fireplace, windows opening to the south side overlooking a wooded and partially cleared lot, and an open kitchen - dining room - living room floor plan. The rear door opens onto a wide, two-tiered deck overlooking gardens and woods. Downstairs, a wood stove that can heat the whole house sits in a comfortable, expansive sitting room. Doors on this level lead to the side garden area or to the carport. Although the town records list 1066 square feet, the house has an additional 800+ square feet on the lower level. Two additional bedrooms and an office complete the interior accommodations (town lists two bedrooms, but there are four). With a generator hookup, a five-acre wood lot, gardens and additional garden areas, and a wood stove and fireplace, this home is a self-sustaining unit. Other details: Newer roof, brand new stove and dishwasher. Beyond the property, farms, Natchaug River, and hiking and bike trails are nearby, and also close by as are shopping, bowling, golf, and restaurants, so the setting is the best of both worlds. Privacy and quiet abound, but amenities are close and plentiful
