About 56 Turtleback Rd

Timeless elegance and serene privacy define this beautifully renovated and expanded 1930s Colonial, peacefully set on over 4 acres of beautifully balanced meadow and woodland bordering the Weir Farm Nature Conservancy. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home blends historic charm with modern sophistication, filled with natural light, original hardwood floors, and captivating views from every room. It features 4 generously sized bedrooms and 5 full baths, with a main-level library/study that can easily serve as a 5th bedroom. At the heart of the home is a stunning eat-in kitchen with a large center island, quartz countertops, ample seating, and a delightful breakfast nook. The adjoining family room showcases a striking fireplace, wood beams, and elegant French doors that open to a lovely stone terrace. A versatile living/dining room includes a fabulous fireplace and window seat overlooking the backyard, and a convenient first-floor laundry enhances daily comfort. Upstairs, the sunlit primary suite offers its own fireplace and tranquil views, while the two additional bedrooms on this level each enjoy their own full bath. The third floor reveals a 4th bedroom, full bath, and additional office space. The grounds are equally exceptional, ideal for gardening or homesteading, with a private hiking trail winding through the trees. A barn-style garage with finished loft and whimsical custom-built treehouse complete this rare and distinctive property-just an hour from NYC.
