Take A Tour: Berlin's Five Priciest Homes On The Market Right Now

BERLIN, CT — One house stands well above the rest of Berlin's housing market right now.

The most expensive home for sale in town costs about $600,000 more than the next one, according to listings on Zillow.com, and three of the top five are new homes going up in Kensington.

No. 1 on the list is 1640 Orchard Road, asking $1,450,000. The 5,498-square-foot Colonial, built in 1990 and fully renovated by Arena Custom Construction, has five bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two half bathrooms on 3.67 acres. Behind a stone-accented front, the kitchen centers on an oversized waterfall-edge island, with a wet bar nearby. The formal living room and a sunken sitting room each have a fireplace, and an enclosed, heated sunroom opens onto a balcony. Upstairs, the primary suite has a vaulted ceiling. It has been on Zillow for 30 days.

Two homes are tied for No. 2 at $850,000 each. 141 Wilks Pond Road, built in 1998, is a 2,588-square-foot house on a 0.59-acre corner lot with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom, plus a sunroom and a large deck and patio. Its price was cut by $34,000 on Sept. 20, and it has been on Zillow for 48 days.

The other is new construction at 963 High Road in Kensington, which the listing calls the last house in its subdivision. The 2,804-square-foot country colonial sits on 0.67 acres with views of farmland protected by a land trust out front and town conservation land behind it. Zillow lists four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, although the listing description says two and a half baths. The plans include a kitchen island 84 inches long, a gas fireplace, and a walk-out basement with 9-foot ceilings, near Timberlin Golf Course and Ragged Mountain Preserve. It has been on Zillow for 131 days.

No. 4 is another new home in Kensington, on a private rear lot at 398 Chamberlain Highway Lot 6A-2.

It has been on Zillow for 134 days.

Closing out the top five is its neighbor on the same parcel, 398 Chamberlain Highway Lot 6A-1, at $769,900. The 2,800-square-foot new home on 0.48 acres has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom, formal living and dining rooms, a gas fireplace in the family room and a large bonus room upstairs.
