If "quality, charm, unique, tasteful" are words that you would use to describe the home that you're searching for, then 81 Sunset Hill Road in Bethel would satisfy those qualities. Constructed in 1990, this custom built Post and Beam home made use of Northeastern Hemlock, one of the stronger softwoods - rather than the typical pine, for construction. Northeastern Hemlock generally starts out quite "blond" in color, and mellows with time to a rich hue, showing off the detail of the wood's grain. The post and beams are complimented throughout the house with pristine, solid oak random width floors. Should the need ever arise, these floors can easily be sanded and refinished. The 9' ceilings provide an additional dimension of spaciousness. Several special and unique features highlight this home. Note the dual Rumford Fireplaces; one in the Living Room and the other adjacent to it in the Eat-In Kitchen. Rumford fireplaces are tall and shallow to reflect more heat, and they have streamlined throats to eliminate turbulence and carry away the smoke with little loss of heated room air. They have much larger openings and are more heat-efficient than your typical fireplace. As a specialty item, Rumford fireplaces are, naturally, more expensive to install - but more efficient to use and enjoy. The oversized Kitchen is quite functional in that it has an efficiently designed "work" area accompanied by a comfortable area for dining. High end appliances, such as GE Monogram Gas Cook Top and Hood and a Viking Refrigerator compliment the pretty Granite counter tops. The center island makes good use of the floor plan and works well for the flow of cooking every day, or for entertaining. The Eat-In area is flanked by a Rumford Fireplace on one side, and sliders - offering views of the peaceful yard that backs toward Huntington State Park on the other side. The open feel of the main level floor plan lets the kitchen flow into the Formal Dining room or toward the Living Room. You'll find both of these rooms to be spacious, yet cozy. The Family Room adjoins the Kitchen from the other end of the home. Just beyond the Fireplaced Family Room, leads to the sunny and bright Sun Room. Up the spindled staircase are the bedrooms, laundry room and access to the walk-up attic. All four light and bright bedrooms are generously proportioned with random width solid oak floors. The vaulted -ceiling Master Bedroom suite is especially spacious and light, as it is adorned with several windows - offering views of the bucolic yard. It is accompanied by a Master Bath with a whirlpool tub and a walk-in closet. A second bedroom suite also has an attached full bath and walk-in closet. Two other bedrooms are also quite spacious and pleasant. The upper level also supports the full laundry room. Other amenities include a 3 Car Attached Garage (with pull down stairs for additional attic storage), complete with a barn door on the back side for easy access for gardening equipment. The shed is ideal for the in-ground pool equipment storage. Installed circa 2003, the in ground pool adds a lovely dimension to the yard as a beautiful focal point. A natural stone patio and lovely landscaping - which includes lavender and Japanese Maples and surround the pool. By the way, did you know that Lavender keeps away the mosquitoes? You'll find this charming and welcoming home tucked away in the corner of Bethel, just along the Redding boarder and touching upon Huntington State Park. It is truly a unique and rare opportunity to enjoy the good life!More Less
