About This Home

As of August 2025

Set in one of West Hartford's most sought-after neighborhoods, this timeless colonial sits on the mountain side, offering character, convenience and every-day functionality. Just minutes to top-rated schools, parks, shopping, and commuter routes, the location checks every box. Inside, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a thoughtful layout designed for both daily living and entertaining. The oversized kitchen features excellent flow, with a casual dining area that connects to the formal dining room, a sunny three-season porch, and a large deck overlooking a beautifully landscaped backyard. The main level also includes two inviting living spaces, both with fireplaces, separated by a built-in wet bar with wine fridge and storage. Hardwood floors run throughout most of the home, complemented by tile in the baths and natural stone in the sunroom. Upstairs, the large primary suite includes an updated private bath and generous closet space. Three additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the second floor. Recent updates include new windows, furnace, and updated garage and front doors. The two-car garage is tucked around the side on a small cul-de-sac, offering both privacy and curb appeal. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level features a third fireplace and offers incredible potential for future finishing. A rare opportunity in a prime West Hartford setting-don't miss it! *Please have offers in by WEDNESDAY, 7/2, at 5pm for sellers' review*
