Einfamilienhaus In Shelton

Introducing one of Shelton’s most distinctive properties, beautifully set on over two acres in the highly desirable Huntington section of Shelton, with full water views of Gilowat Pond. Tucked away on Soundview Avenue, this custom-built Colonial is a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, natural beauty, and convenience. A must-see property. Surrounded by mature trees and overlooking the tranquil waters of Gilowat Pond, this home offers an extraordinary sense of peace and privacy, with every season creating a new backdrop-from spectacular sunrises and sunsets and lush summer greenery to brilliant fall foliage and serene winter views. Despite its private retreat-like setting, the property is conveniently located near major highways, shopping, restaurants, parks, recreation, and area amenities. Thoughtfully designed and extensively upgraded over the past five years, the home offers over 3,440 sqft of living space, high ceilings, abundant natural light, beautiful millwork, and an inviting floor plan ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. At the heart of the home is an impressive Great Room featuring a chef’s kitchen with peninsula island, custom cabinetry, coffered ceilings, two built-in workstations, and a spacious family room anchored by a wood-burning stove with a dramatic custom floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. A gracious dining room flows into the formal living room, where a second wood-burning stove adds warmth and character. French and pocket doors throughout enhance the home’s open flow and provide multiple connections to the expansive wraparound porch with mahogany decking-the perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful water views. The main level also includes a full bath, laundry area, and access to the attached three-car garage, complete with a unique wood elevator that transports firewood directly to the main level. Outdoors, the property becomes its own private oasis. A heated saltwater inground pool with a mechanical/electric safety cover is complemented by an expansive, level backyard with plenty of room for entertaining and recreation. The setting overlooking Gilowat Pond invites you to kayak, cast a line, or simply relax and enjoy the ever-changing beauty of the water and surrounding nature. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with beautiful water views, two walk-in closets, double vanity, custom-designed shower, and Jacuzzi tub. Additional bedrooms and baths provide plenty of space and privacy for family and guests. A spacious loft area approximately 10x17 offers endless possibilities as a home office, media room, fitness area, playroom, or additional lounge. The walkout lower level offers approximately 1,300 sqft of additional space, abundant storage, and tremendous potential. More than a beautiful home, this is a property defined by its setting and lifestyle-quiet, private, surrounded by nature, and designed to be enjoyed in every season. From summer days by the pool and evenings on the mahogany porch to colorful autumn views across the pond and peaceful winter mornings beside a wood-burning fire, this exceptional property feels worlds away while remaining close to everything.
