Majestic 5 Bedroom Colonial. Set in one of New Milford's most prestigious and soughtafter locations, within the fertile farmland of Merryall, this exceptional Colonial offers rare privacy, refined craftsmanship, with a pool and pool house. Surrounded by conservation land, the setting is unparalleled: the parcel behind the home is owned by the Weantongue Land Trust, while behind that parcel is over 200 acres of preserved Smyrski Farm, providing sweeping distant hill views, breathtaking winter sunrises, abundant wildlife, and zero light pollution for remarkable stargazing. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac known for pride of ownership and meticulous landscaping, the neighborhood offers minimal traffic-ideal for biking, outdoor play, and peaceful living. Enjoy close proximity to the charming towns of Kent and New Milford for dining, shopping, and culture, along with convenient access to both Westchester County and Bradley International Airports. The interior showcases exceptional custom millwork and architectural detail throughout, including coffered ceilings, raisedpanel wainscoting, fluted casings, dentil molding, and plinth blocks. The living and dining rooms feature bespoke woodwork, while the dining room is highlighted by an octagonal tray ceiling with integrated LED lighting. A historic fieldstone fireplace-crafted from stone sourced directly from the property-anchors the home with warmth and character complemented by a gas log fireplace for cozy winter evenings. Designed for modern living, the home offers two private offices on separate floors, ideal for today's dualremote professionals. The finished lower level is perfect for both entertaining and relaxation, featuring a custom movie area with builtin surround sound, space for billiards and game nights, custom cabinetry with cherry countertops, and an exercise room with builtin ceiling speakers. Outdoors, discover a resortlike backyard retreat with a level yard, Trex deck, stamped concrete patio and walkways, bluestone front entry, and a saltwater pool plumbed for a heater. The beautifully appointed pool house includes beadboard walls, a builtin wet bar with antique oak countertop, loft storage, sound system, cupola with lighting, and ample storage with ramp access-perfect for summer entertaining and holiday gatherings. Additional highlights include a full water filtration system, invisible dog fence, security system with cellular connectivity, extensive HVAC upgrades (including full firstfloor replacement in 2026), serviced boiler and gas fireplace, large attic with expansion potential, full brick chimney with decorative cap, and extensive crown molding throughout. Truly one-of-a-kind in both design and setting, this exceptional home offers timeless quality, privacy, and lifestyle in one of New Milford's most admired neighborhoods.
