Nestled on a private 1.5-acre interior lot in Orange, this one-of-a-kind log cabin retreat blends rustic character with modern flexibility and exceptional multi-generational living potential. Tucked away behind a turnaround driveway, the property offers a peaceful, vacation-like setting while remaining just minutes from Route 34, the Merritt Parkway, I-95, and the Boston Post Road shopping and dining corridor. The main residence showcases soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood interiors, and a stunning brick hearth and wood stove that anchors the open-concept living space. The updated kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range with electric baking capability. The main level includes two bedrooms and a full bath, while the upper level offers an additional bedroom, second full bath, a bedroom-sized walk-in closet/dressing room, and an expansive loft-style family/media room overlooking the living area below. A covered farmhouse-style front porch with ramp access adds both charm and accessibility. The connecting breezeway has been transformed into an impressive bonus living area complete with kitchenette, full bath, and lounge/flex space ideal for extended family, guests, recreation, hobbies, or au pair-style use. Above the attached 3-car garage, the private in-law apartment offers outstanding versatility with separate exterior access in addition to interior and garage access. The space includes 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and an open kitchen/living/family room layout with slider access to a deck overlooking the property. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, contractors, or collectors will appreciate not only the attached 3-car garage, but also the detached powered garage/workshop. Despite the secluded setting, the property is located less than two miles from shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, golf, fitness centers, commuter routes, and everyday conveniences. Nearby access to public and private schools, Yale/New Haven employment centers, and Southern Connecticut amenities makes this a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, flexibility, and lifestyle in one of Orange's most convenient locations.
