4702 GARDEN BROOK CT

From the moment you arrive, this home makes a lasting impression--where architectural character, thoughtful expansion, and refined updates converge to create a truly elevated living experience. A new roof (2022) and a substantial addition enhance both form and function, introducing an expansive primary suite and a rare three-car garage with an excavated John Deere room and extensive storage below. The entry sets a sophisticated tone, featuring distinctive wood columns and ornate built-in bookshelf detailing sourced from the Journalism School at the University--an architectural statement that feels both timeless and intentional. From here, the home opens into a dramatic living room with vaulted 13-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace with custom tile surround, built-in shelving, and expansive casement windows that flood the space with natural light while framing serene views of the beautifully landscaped, partially wooded backyard. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both striking and highly functional--designed to accommodate everything from intimate mornings to large-scale entertaining. Soaring 13-foot vaulted ceilings crown granite countertops, a prep island with sink, double stainless steel wall ovens, stone backsplash, and newer appliances. Rich wood cabinetry is accented with under-cabinet lighting, and the open layout allows seamless connection to the living areas. A generous 6'7" x 9'1" walk-in pantry with double swing doors, abundant shelving, and a NuTone exhaust fan provides exceptional storage and organization. The adjacent eat-in area offers effortless indoor-outdoor flow, with direct access to the screened-in porch and an updated Azek deck--complete with a gas line ready for grilling. Nearby, the hearth room creates a warm and inviting gathering space, anchored by graceful arched entryways that lead into the private primary suite wing. The primary retreat is thoughtfully separated for privacy and tranquility. Along the way, you'll find a large hall closet and a beautifully appointed laundry room featuring classic black-and-white tile. The primary bedroom itself is introduced through ornate oak double swing doors and opens to a spa-inspired en-suite bath. Highlights include updated tile flooring, a 7' x 5' walk-in tiled shower with dual shower heads, a private water closet, dual vanities with pull-out storage, fog-free mirrors, and integrated medicine cabinetry. The space is wired for audio and TV, and the nearly 100-square-foot walk-in closet delivers exceptional storage and organization. A functional mudroom just off the garage offers built-in shelving ideal for a drop zone or additional storage, with optional laundry hookups for added flexibility. The formal dining room provides an elegant setting for hosting, defined by arched doorways and a large window that brings in soft natural light. Two additional main-level bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned and share a well-appointed hall bath with dual vanity and tub/shower combination--perfect for family or guests. The lower level continues the home's luxurious offerings, featuring two additional bedrooms--each with walk-in closets and private en-suite baths--plus an additional full bathroom. A non-conforming bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a plumbed, roughed-in full bath, offering future expansion potential. Designed for entertaining, this level includes a wet bar with an attached approximately 100-square-foot wine cellar, equipped with a newer CellarCool cooling system for proper wine preservation and aging. A sunken family room showcases a hidden TV, gas fireplace, recreation space ideal for games or gatherings, and a dedicated area perfectly suited for a pool table. Double slider doors extend the living space outdoors, while an unfinished storage room with mechanical systems and an adjacent walk-in closet provide abundant storage options. Energy efficiency and comfort are enhanced by a geothermal HVAC system. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a 13'6" x 14'6" screened-in porch, a 16' x 26' Azek deck, and an expertly designed flagstone patio featuring dual staircases and a two-tier layout. The grounds are richly layered with mature plantings, natural stonework, and an abundance of perennials--creating a private, resort-like setting that feels professionally curated and beautifully maintained. This exceptional property offers a rare blend of architectural detail, luxury finishes, and thoughtfully designed spaces--crafted for refined living and memorable entertaining at every turn.
