Welcome to The Hammocks, a stunning reproduction of a New England colonial village featuring a variety of stately homes, lovely brick walkways, flourishing gardens and lush "Commons" for the enjoyment of all. The home at 12 Osprey Commons is a traditional Colonial design complete with a pleasant & symmetrical facade including two chimneys, a triangular pediment over the front door, bluestone steps, natural stone retaining wall, brick driveway and beautifully landscaped yard. The classic look and enduring charm of the exterior speaks to the quality of the construction and carries over into the interior. Each room is beautifully appointed and comfortable. Whether you are entertaining in the living room or formal dining room or just relaxing by the gas fireplace in the family room, the surroundings will delight you and your guests. The kitchen is a joy to work in, a foodie's dream come true, clean and bright with quartz countertops, gas cooktop, farm sink, double wall ovens, and large center island with seating. Unique to this home are the two primary suites, one on each floor while the third bedroom also has a private bath, perfect for your overnight guests. And who wouldn't love the large walk-in closet/dressing room on the second floor? There is plenty of storage, either in the partially finished walk-up attic, the huge full basement or the oversized two car garage. With seasonal views of LI Sound and marina, you will find this is the perfect place to call home.
This Garrison Colonial home has a well-thought-out design which makes maximum use of the square footage in an efficient, yet comfortable and pleasing way. Magical woodland gardens with stonewalls and majestic trees surround this four bedroom home creating a private setting for your enjoyment while being just a short commute to I-95 and the CT shoreline. Guests can follow the impressive bluestone walkway to the front door or the cobblestone trail to the rear deck. Stepping inside, it will be evident that this has been a well-loved home. The first floor has a formal living room and dining room as well a more informal family room with a wood burning fireplace and French doors to the secluded rear deck, a large eat-in kitchen and convenient powder room. Upstairs you will be pleasantly surprised to find a spacious primary bedroom with a private en suite bathroom and walk-in closet, three additional bedrooms and another full bath~and somehow, plenty of closet space to boot! The basement adds 350 sq ft of unheated, finished space~perfect for a playroom or home gym~and an unfinished portion for storage and the mechanicals. More storage can be found in the oversized, attached two car garage and garden shed. Enjoy the rural character of the town with acres of open space including Killingworth Land Trust acreage to the rear of this property which will remain undeveloped.
Rarely will you find an approved building lot with the attributes this lot has. The majority of the site work is done ~~the curb cut and gravel driveway with great site lines is in place, the lot is cleared and fairly level, the septic system installed in the mid '80's (believed to be 1000 gallon tank with three 70' stone and trench leaching fields) is intact as is the well (no data is available on depth or recovery). This amounts to a huge savings and less headaches! Just imagine your dream home on this picturesque lot complete with stonewalls and a storage shed with covered porch!
