* Sale Pending *

25 min from Yale/downtown Brand new Haven, 35 from Hartford, in a cul-de sac w/the best of town conveniences and country feel. Easy walk from award-winning Cheshire High, Bartlem Skate Park/Rec Area (public swimming/diving pool and HUGE playgrounds) + the sidewalks, shops and restaurants of South Main Street. Yet surrounded on 3 sides by green space: Farmington Canal Heritage Trail & Zentek Farm (low-spray/no-spray family farm, now going organic - certified organic strawberries in 2025!). 0.7-acre fenced yard means room to play. 2-car garage attached to house + 2-story converted barn/3-car garage inside fully fenced yard (w/ l arge yard gate) means ample parking even for car collectors. Barn has electricity and can be converted to living space, studio or small business uses. Separate gazebo houses an 8-person hot tub. Inside, enjoy generous living room w/cathedral ceiling & fireplace, remodeled open-flow kitchen/dining room with newer appliances, bright sunroom with lovely built-in bookshelves, huge and recently remodeled primary bedroom w/ensuite bath and 1 large & 1 walk-in closet, plus 2 other bedrooms & a 2nd full bath. High-efficiency heat-pump HVAC in the primary BR suite; rest of the house on traditional HVAC. New 50-yr roof + 11.07 kW solar array installed 2023 keeps utility costs way down; system has estimated net present value of $100, 000+ w/24 more years of warrantied production & will be fully paid-for at closing. Move in soon & enjoy!

Town records suggest home once had a 3rd full bath - 2 smaller baths may have been combined at some point, there are 2 large full baths now. NPV calculations for solar array were done on a solar NPV calculator co-developed by NREL/Sandia National Labs - see report attached. Depending on usage patterns, 11.07 kW system may well be enough for electric car/truck charging as well as supporting the heat pump & general electric needs - who needs a gas station if your rooftop pays your transportation fuel costs. Home is in R-20 zone. Per Town of Cheshire Planning & Zoning Department, this allows use of the barn/3-car garage as-of-right as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for family members and also for certain home-business uses, with strict limits to maintain residentil character of the neighborhood. Check with your Realtor or Town of Cheshire for details; buyers should do their due diligence on any proposed business use. 8-person hot tub has not been used in about 3 years. It was in good working order as of last use and seller is not aware of any issues with it, but makes no warranty; to avoid issues, hot tub should be professionally serviced before next use.
