131 Flanders Road Bethlehem, CT 06751

Charming 3-bedroom Cape nestled in bucolic Bethlehem on 5.4 level acres. The property is only 1/2 mile from Bethlehem center (supermarket, pharmacy, hardware, bank, health food store, public library, post office, Town Hall, and the Painted Pony and Oliva on Main restaurants) and only 12-13 minutes from the neighboring towns of Watertown, Woodbury and Litchfield with their excellent restaurants and shopping. The wide, floor to ceiling stone fireplace in the great room is the home's centerpiece, with french doors leading out to the wraparound wood deck that has a view of the entire property. There is a first floor master bedroom with full bath ensuite, another full bath serving the additional main floor bedroom, and a second master bedroom suite designed through a creative renovation of the attic complete with full bath and sitting area. Included in the sale are a storage shed and a larger, heated outbuilding with running water and electricity. The property is bounded on one side by land owned by the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis just up the road. Just a bit further, on the Woodbury side of Flanders Road, is the Flanders Nature Center. And minutes away is Long Meadow Pond (a natural lake) for swimming, kayaking or just sunning on the beach. Surrounded by countryside, private yet just minutes from the recreation, conveniences and sophisticated dining, 131 Flanders Road is the perfect year-round home or weekend getaway from nearby New York or Massachusetts.
