*** HIGHEST AND BEST DUE Wednesday 9/23/2026 at 9am. Set on more than five private acres in Glastonbury, 136 Shoddy Mill Road is a striking contemporary residence where architectural scale, thoughtful design, and resort inspired living come together beautifully. Surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping, the property feels wonderfully secluded, with elevated grounds that create a remarkable sense of privacy. Outdoors, a saltwater Gunite pool becomes the centerpiece of an exceptional setting designed for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment. Custom LED pool lighting, expansive patios, stone walls, a granite outdoor fireplace, gazebo, private deck, and abundant gardens create an atmosphere that feels more like a private retreat than a traditional backyard. Inside, soaring ceilings and newly refinished wide plank hardwood floors establish an immediate sense of warmth and sophistication. The kitchen is generously proportioned and beautifully appointed, with an impressive center island, leathered granite, wine refrigeration, in counter microwave, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. Just beyond, a dedicated butler's kitchen offers floor to ceiling cabinetry, a paneled dishwasher, and an oversized stainless steel sink, providing invaluable additional workspace while keeping the main kitchen polished and presentation ready.
