It just doesn't get better than this!

Montville is an award-winning community with lots of recreational opportunities for everyone.  Sports...socialization...clubs...you name it...we've got it. 

The house is a custom-built split that has the feel of a center-hall with large rooms and plenty of amenities.  There's great flow and plenty of room for entertaining family and friends. The location couldn't be better...a quiet cul-de-sac...a short walk to famed William Mason Elementary School.

Highlights 

In our 18 years here, we have renovated every aspect of the house - kitchen, all bathrooms, laundry room, both family rooms, all flooring, roof,  heating system, landscaping.  We've done all the work for you - all you have to do is move-in!

We only bought the best.  We installed Mirage flooring instead of Bruce.  We bought fixtures from a supply shop rather than Home Depot.  Everything in the house is quality "designer label."

We offer natural gas heating -  1/4 the price of oil or propane - without the worry of delivery or drastically fluctuating prices.   Oil and propane are now $4.00+ a gallon; the natural gas equivalent is $1.00 a gallon.  That's a savings of $6,000 to $10,000 a year.
