About This Home

As of September 2024

Elegant and updated this 1914 brick and clapboard Colonial is highly desirable. Updated to perfection with original character intact, this sophisticated property is within walking distance to schools, West Hartford Center (3/4 mile), and Park Rd. Host to countless parties and meetings throughout the years, this home is meant for entertaining! The interior is impressive with high ceilings, original molding, refinished hardwood floors, a gracious entryway, updated bathrooms, and a front-to-back living room with fireplace and glass doors leading to the 3-season porch. The updated kitchen has white shaker style cabinets, granite counters, Carrara marble backsplash, Wolf stove, newer stainless appliances, and a butler's pantry with a copper sink and gold leaf ceiling. Upstairs the primary bedroom has much to be desired with a custom walk-in closet not seen in similar homes! The full bath at the top of the stairs has a soaking tub and shower, with access to the hall and primary bedroom. Two additional bedrooms are on the second floor, one with a private en suite bath. The private courtyard with a covered patio provides a perfect setting for outdoor activities or just curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee. The finished lower level offers additional sq. feet for a wonderful playroom or rec room and an additional room that can be utilized as an office or guest space.
