196 Mudge Pond Rd, Sharon, CT 06069

This adorable and cozy home has been lovingly cared for by its current owners for the past 13 years. What began as a weekend retreat gradually became their full-time home, shared, of course, with their beloved cat. Over the years, the house has evolved into a comfortable little nest-a place for relaxing, stargazing, enjoying nature, finding focus & inspiration, and gathering with family and friends. An abundance of windows keeps the home connected to its peaceful surroundings, while multiple doors invite you to simply step outside. The welcoming living room, with its wood-burning fireplace, is warm and intimate, while the thoughtfully updated kitchen features quartz countertops & backsplash, newer appliances, and flows naturally into the dining area, where the custom-made dining table fits so perfectly. Everything falls into place. Custom built-ins throughout add both charm and function. The screened porch is a favorite spot for much of the year, overlooking a wonderfully private backyard embraced by woods. Outdoors, the owners have created a series of intimate spaces and little vignettes throughout the property-places to enjoy morning coffee, gather around the fire, soak in the hot tub, or simply appreciate the quiet. Mature landscaping and moss-covered rocks add to the natural beauty and sense of seclusion.

A separate approximately 400 SF heated and air-conditioned studio (not included in the home's stated square footage), complete with a full bathroom, is an unexpected bonus and a true sanctuary. With radiant-heat, a mini-split, and skylight, it offers wonderful flexibility as an artist's studio, home office, yoga or exercise space, or simply somewhere to retreat and unwind. Peaceful and surrounded by nature, the property is just half a mile from Sharon Town Beach on Mudge Pond and around the corner from Twin Oaks, a Sharon Land Trust preserve on Mudgetown Road. Thoughtfully cared for and improved over the years, this is a home that may be petite in scale but is wonderfully rich in character... a place that invites you to slow down, open the doors, step outside, and simply enjoy where you are.
