About this home
This gem is a true New England delight! Built in 1820 and set on 3.6 acres surrounded by unbuildable land, this beautifully preserved Colonial offers something increasingly rare - a home with genuine history, smart modern updates and designer inspired renovations. Professionally landscaped gardens create an immediate sense of peace and tranquility as you approach the stone entry. A home to be cherished, enjoyed, and shared, with spaces made for lingering and entertaining. Inside, the renovated kitchen is both striking and inviting, with a luxury Italian-made 8-burner gas range, expansive soapstone island and butler's pantry. A first-floor primary suite, part of a 2003 addition, offers a quiet retreat with its own heating and cooling zone, laundry, and a spacious ensuite bath. In total, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a powder room. All new central air, whole house generator, gas heat, public sewer and a new roof. Beyond the house is what may be its most memorable feature - a magnificent 1,672 sqft barn with soaring ceilings and original exposed beams. Warm, charming, and full of personality, it adds another dimension to this one-of-a-kind property. A natural gathering place for entertaining, long dinners and weekends spent with family and friends. Long admired by passersby, this is a rare opportunity to own a property with presence and character. All just 10 minutes from West Hartford Center's fantastic shopping and dining. Where history feels completely at home.
Outstanding opportunity with this fantastic 2800 square foot Colonial built in 1820. Situated on 3.57 acres of land, this 4-bedroom home has so much to offer. The first-floor master bedroom addition with a huge walk-in closet, a laundry closet, well-appointed master bath with radiant heat in the floors, jet tub and a stall shower, certainly adds a modern flair to this home. Also on the main level is a large kitchen area with hardwood floors, island and Corian counters. Enjoy a butler's pantry along with a great eat in space and sliders that lead to the front patio. The eat in area, with cathedral ceiling, can also be used as a den/family room space. With wide plank hardwood floors and a large two-sided fireplace, the living room/dining room area offers a versatile living space. A half bathroom rounds off the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom has great closet space (very unique for this time period) while one bedroom has an en-suite bathroom (was formally the master bedroom prior to the addition). There is another laundry closet on this level. You certainly will love the HUGE two-story barn/garage located on the circular driveway of the home. This structure has an endless list of possible uses. The prior owner used it as storage as well as a two-car garage. Aside from all of this the home features vinyl siding, 200 amp electrical, gas heat, central air (as is) a whole house gas generator (as is) and more. Subject to probate approval.
