About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled in one of West Hartford's most charming neighborhoods, this stunning 5-bed, 3.5-bath Colonial blends classic architecture, timeless character, and abundant natural light across three stories plus a versatile lower level. Step inside to find beautiful hardwood floors, wood staircases, and custom windows that fill the home with sunshine. Architectural details shine throughout, from the wood-beamed ceilings to the arched doorways, built-ins, and a fireplace anchoring the spacious living room. Just beyond, a sunroom provides a bright retreat, perfect for relaxation or a reading nook. A study on the main floor offers a quiet space, complete with a private half-bath and closet space, making it ideal for remote work. The dining room, accented by a bay window, leads into a fully appointed kitchen featuring unique cabinetry, a double oven, and an oversized window overlooking the outdoors. An eat-in area and direct access to an expansive wrap-around deck make this kitchen both functional and inviting. Upstairs, the second floor offers four spacious bedrooms with generous closets, including a primary suite with a beautifully tiled tub. The third floor features a sprawling bonus room, an additional bedroom and full bath. The lower level has a two-car garage, laundry area, storage, and a dedicated workshop-perfect for hobbies or projects. With gorgeous details, abundant space, and a ideal location-just a short walk to Elizabeth Park-this home is a rare find.
