Amazing 5-bedroom house in Mansfield

The House in the Woods is surrounded by giant oaks and conifers on an acre of hillside lawn. It's in a rather small neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac of friendly neighbors...and 5 minutes from a Big Y Grocery Store.

The drive to UConn is 15 minutes, and to ECSU is 5 minutes.

There are Primary Suites on the Main Floor and upstairs - both fully outfitted with King Beds, shower and tub, sink and toilet, and walk-in closets. The upstairs suite tub is actually a jacuzzi.

Upstairs, there is also a second bedroom with a Queen bed, and across the hall, there's an office that doubles as a bedroom with a single bed. They share a full bathroom.

Please note that there is no gate on the rather-wide stairs between and first and second floor, so don't bring youngsters who might fall.

The basement does have a sofa that can become a King bed or two single beds. That said, the half bath that serves the basement is up a flight of stairs, so we have not counted those beds in the 7 persons listed on the site. (We think of the Basement as the place where all the guys can gather to watch the Big Game! Or the kids can watch their favorite horrors.)

If you love peace and quiet, this is the neighborhood for you. We're on a cul-de-sac off of a cul-de-sac, so there are usually more people out strolling than there are cars passing. Use the front porch swings and rockers to relax with a drink at the end of the day...or sit there all morning with your coffee.

Another great place for relaxing - maybe with a good book?- is the back porch. It has mid-day sun, which you might enjoy. There's seating for five there all the time, and there are reclining chairs on the tucked-in small porch under the deck off the Suite. It's right in the middle of the back of the house...across from the big cherry tree.
