A custom-built home with cathedral ceilings and mosaic-tiled floors is on the market at 76 Pent Rd. in Branford.
The 5,705-square-foot, single-family home with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths is situated on its own private oasis, yet is close to shopping, restaurants and the beach.
Sitting on 2.63-acres, the home’s first floor features a kitchen with 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, granite countertops, an island and cozy breakfast nook. An adjacent dining room and family room offer space for large, formal gatherings and holidays beside a fireplace. The living room features vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, a second fireplace and lots of natural light filtering through the windows.
A first-floor bedroom features French doors, a full bath with mosaic tile and balcony/deck access.
A grand staircase, flanked by white columns, leads to the home’s second floor and features a master bedroom suite with a full bath with mosaic tile, double sinks and a walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms and another full bath complete the second floor. The home also has a two-car garage.
Outside, there is a custom, in-ground pool and spa surrounded by professionally landscaped gardens and greenery.
The home’s listing agent, Tina Wazny with William Raveis Real Estate, said this “dream home” is eagerly awaiting its next buyer.
“This home was a custom build by the current owners (who are downsizing), and every detail was hand selected and carefully thought out,” Wazny said. “It gives you a country feel, while only being minutes to shopping and anything you could need. There are surrounding homes with farms, and I imagine this property would be a dream for any horse or animal lover.”
Wazny said since the property hit the market in mid-April, she has had several showings and most people have been “awe struck” by what they’ve seen.
“This home is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” Wazny said. “Most have no clue this hidden gem is tucked away in Branford. Being on what feels like a private road, although the town does maintain it, this home is perfect for anyone who looks to escape the noise, raise a family or even retire. It truly has so much to offer.”
According to the Branford Assessor’s Office, the home is currently owned by John F. Muzzi, and the latest data has the home appraised at $735,000.
