Exceptional custom-built ranch privately set on 5.77 acres in desirable Forest Heights. Designed around one central vision - to bring the beauty of outdoors into every room - the home offers an immediate connection to its natural setting. Expansive windows frame views of surrounding woods, dramatic rock outcroppings, mature dogwoods, lush landscaping and a peaceful woodland pond in the distance. Each room offers its own unique perspective, creating a home that feels wonderfully private yet completely connected to nature. At the heart of the home, the inviting family room/kitchen features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and walls of glass, creating a warm, welcoming gathering space. Step outside to a stone patio and large mahogany deck, extending the living space outdoors. The primary suite occupies its own wing with a private office and deck. A separate wing offers three additional bedrooms, two full baths, a music/sitting room and dedicated HVAC. The formal living and dining rooms are graciously proportioned and beautifully suited for entertaining. A partially finished walk-out lower level adds additional flexibility. Timeless craftsmanship is evident throughout. A wonderful blend of privacy and convenience, this serene retreat is a 20 minute ride to Yale Hospital and Yale University and 5 minutes to the train station and all major highways!!
