About This Home

This elegant, 6,000-square-foot residence in Hartford's prestigious West End is set on a generous 2/3-acre lot that provides exceptional outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your privacy. Almost immediately adjacent to Overlook Park and historic Elizabeth Park, offering trails, basketball & tennis courts, a playground, a baseball diamond, beautiful pubic gardens, and a performance venue. The long circular driveway offers easy access and abundant parking, while the durable stucco exterior and solid mid-life roof present a well-maintained facade. Inside, refined hardwood floors, rich architectural trim, and expansive open rooms create an immediate sense of awe and prestige. The 1st floor consists of a nearly 600-square-foot living room, a serene 300-square-foot sunroom, a formal 320-square-foot dining room, a spacious eat-in kitchen with butler's pantry, a convenient laundry area paired with a powder room, and a private study complete with its own half-bath. The 2nd floor features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, highlighted by a luxurious primary suite. The 3rd floor adds a 6th bedroom, a 4th full bath, flexible open space, and extra storage. The dry basement with a finished hobby room further expands the home's versatility. Ideally located with quick access to Routes 84, 44, 91, and 9, plus the amenities of both downtown Hartford and West Hartford just minutes away.
