About This Home
Clean, updated, and easy to live in - 290 Forest St offers a modern feel with a layout that simply makes sense. Set in a convenient East Hartford location with quick access to I-84, downtown Hartford, and nearby shopping, dining, and parks. The interior has been thoughtfully refreshed with updated flooring, refined trim details, and a consistent neutral palette that carries throughout the home. The main living area feels open yet defined, anchored by a fireplace that adds warmth and character while still keeping the space functional for everyday use. The kitchen has been fully updated with modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a clean backsplash, creating a space that is both practical and visually sharp. The bathroom has also been improved with updated tile and fixtures, continuing that same level of finish throughout. The layout offers flexibility with multiple living areas that can adapt depending on how the space is used. Additional features include newer windows, central air conditioning, and a dedicated laundry/utility area that adds to the home's overall functionality. Out back, a rear deck extends the living space outdoors, offering a simple and usable setup for day-to-day use. The yard provides additional room for recreation, entertaining, or future use over time.
