Tucked away on a peaceful town maintained cul-de-sac road, this custom Nantucket-style colonial offers an extraordinary lifestyle in one of South Glastonbury's most enchanting natural settings. Almost completely rebuilt in 2001, this remarkable residence is privately sited on 2.02 acres with direct frontage on Brainard Pond, expansive views across cherished South Glastonbury farmland, and access to picturesque waterfalls.

A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone before stepping inside, where a marble foyer gives way to gleaming hardwood floors and an open, light-filled floor plan. Your gaze is immediately drawn through a wall of windows framing breathtaking water and pastoral views beyond. The soaring living room strikes the perfect balance between grandeur and comfort with vaulted ceilings, illuminated wood beams, a striking fieldstone gas fireplace, and sliding glass doors opening out to an elevated deck - an idyllic setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply soaking in the tranquil surroundings. 

Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen has been thoughtfully curated with enduring quality and functionality. Custom wood cabinetry extends to the ceiling with elegant crown molding, complemented by granite countertops, a substaintial center island, pantry, built-in workstations and shelving, and a fully equipped wet bar featuring a sink, wine cooler, and wine storage. Professional-grade appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, DCS 6-burner gas range with commercial stainless hood, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and microwave. Counter seating and the sunny breakfast dining area create inviting gathering spaces, while a second sliding glass door seamlessly connects to the rear deck for al fresco dining beneath the stars. 

Architectural columns gracefully define the formal dining room, creating an elegant setting for holidays and special occasions. Everyday convenience is enhanced by an attached 2-car garage, dedicated first-floor laundry room with storage, and a well-appointed powder room. 

The main level continues into a highly versatile bedroom wing featuring 2 generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space, served by a turnkey full bathroom - ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or flexilble work from home needs. 

Upstairs, the home unfolds into beautifully designed private retreats. The primary suite is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing soaring ceilings, a private balcony accessed through French doors, a gas fireplace, 2 walk-in closets, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling Palladian window that perfectly frames the surrounding landscape. The luxurious ensuite bath offers a walk-in shower, jetted soaking tub, expansive dual-sink marble vanity, travertine flooring, linen storage, and an elegant oval picture window. A newly remodeled upper-level wing further expands the home's versatility with a private office - equally suited as a nursery - a full bathroom with glass-enclosed shower, and an oversized bonus room, ideally suited as a 4th bedroom, finished with luxury vinyl plank flooring and dual closets for exceptional storage. 

The walk-out lower level represents an incredible opportunity to create even more living space, with framing, heating and cooling, electrical, plumbing, and insulation already in place for approximately 800sf of additional future finished area. The completed cigar room and wine celler is ready to enjoy today, richly appointed with wood-paneled walls, stone wine room accents, a granite topped wet bar, wine cooler, beverage refrigerator, and a sophisticated ventilation system. A finished half bath, with marble mosaic flooring and marble vanity, is already complete, while the remaining spaces have been thoughtfully designed for a family room with fireplace, entertaining bar, recreation room, or home gym. Full-sized windows and 2 sliding glass doors flood the lower level with natural light while providing direct access to the backyard. 

Outside, the property is truly magical. Rolling lawns gently descent to your direct access on Brainard Pond, inviting afternoons spent kayaking, canoeing, fishing, or simply enjoying the remarkable wildlife that calls this protected natural preserve home. Two CareFree storage sheds provide practical utility today while offering exciting possibilities for a future pond-side pavilion or gathering space. 

Notable features and updates include newer roof (2020), newer A/C system (2020), 2-zone HVAC, newer water heater (2020), cedar-shingle siding, irrigation with pond pump, and so much more to love. 

Despite its extraordinary sense of privacy and immersion in nature, this exceptional property remains just minutes from Glastonbury's renowned restaurants, charming village center, shopping, award-winning schools, and commuter conveniences. A special opportunity to embrace waterfront living, scenic farmland vistas, and timeless New England elegance in one of South Glastonbury's most treasured locations.
