Our Take

1 Pootatuck Park Road is a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home on 1.06 acres with more than 85 feet of lake frontage and down-lake views. The main level combines an open kitchen, family room, fireplace, cathedral ceiling, deck access, office, mud room/laundry, and a primary/guest suite. Upstairs are a second primary suite and two additional bedrooms. A two-car garage, 57-foot deck, gently sloping lawn, and peninsula extending into the channel add to the property's water-oriented layout.

Read the full listing description

Just a few details left on this waterfront gem and they don't come much nicer than this -- gently sloping lot with down lake views & over 85 feet of frontage! This spectacular property has been completely rebuilt and added on to by one of Newtown's best builders with everything new and of exceptional quality! The main floor features a light-filled open gourmet kitchen with a 10' island & eating area that shares space with the family room, framed by a cathedral ceiling, fireplace & multiple oversized Marvin windows and doors that lead to the mahogany deck. The formal dining area has stunning lake views through 12' sliders that lead to the deck. A dedicated office/study, mud room/laundry and a main floor primary/guest suite with its own slider to the deck along with a massive shower & double sink in its en-suite bath complete the first floor. Upstairs there's an even larger primary suite again with a massive walk-in shower & double sinks in its en-suite bath along with two other bedrooms & a shared hall bath. Downstairs is a generous mud room with space to hang your coats and store your boots just in from the 2 car garage. Outside is where it's at, watch the boats, water & jet skiers or the wildlife from the 57' deck. The gently sloping lawn goes right to the water with a natural peninsula that juts straight into the channel. Home will be completed and ready for occupancy in August - new throughout you won't want to miss this masterly crafted waterfront home.
