About This Home

As of June 2023

This picturesque, colonial-style farmhouse is nestled in a tranquil West Hartford neighborhood, on a half-acre of luscious New England lawn, surrounded by artistically designed and lovingly tended vegetation. Enter via the little breakfast nook, containing a woodburning stove, with access to the large paver patio and amazing yard space. The renovated kitchen is set with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of excellently designed cabinetry and pantry space. A charming, wood-paneled front room with fireplace and Tudor style windows lies adjacent to the kitchen. Down the hall is an adorable half-bath and the delightful dining room, complete with bay windows, a period corner hutch, and access to the side yard. The main floor is completed by an elegant and spacious living room with lovely built-in bookshelves and yet another fireplace. Off the upstairs landing are 4 gorgeous bedrooms and a newly refurbished guest bath with a subway-tiled shower and the original steel tub. The bright and airy master bedroom leads to the stunningly re-designed and fully remodeled master bath containing a chic double-sink vanity, large walk-in shower, and luxuriously deep soaking tub. The bottom level has an additional 235 square feet of truly usable space. The home also features trendy new or restored lighting throughout, handsome and well-maintained hardwood flooring, double-paned French windows, storm doors, central air, and a two-car garage.
