As you approach the cul de sac, 186 Thoreau is on the left and completely private. The approach is sloped, to enjoy the privacy and seclusion. The colonial, white with front porch and idyllic, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, a family room with fireplace and brick mantel awaits. The first floor features a living room that opens via a wide doorway to the dining room, with chair rail and sconses. The kitchen with newly painted, white cabinets and pretty backsplash is a pleasure to sit in. The eating area is off to the side, near the slider for a sneak peek out to that uber private back yard. There is a center island that is movable and it stays. The half bathroom off the kitchen has a new vanity and is also home to the main floor laundry. The family room completes this floor and perfectly compliments the balance of the living space. Upstairs you have 3 bedrooms and the master bedroom suite. The space is exactly what many buyers are looking for. The lower level has brand new wall to wall carpeting, an office or gym room, a mud room area, a pantry and storage/utility room. This house is deceivingly large!The rear deck is multi level, approximately 25 feet by 45 feet, and leads to the hot tub which is staying. Come enjoy all that Shelton has to offer, especially the low taxes.
