10 Shady Lane

Fox Den neighborhood * Hop Brook setting * Private 0.92-acre lot * 3-car garage * Refinished hardwoods * 3 wood-burning fireplaces * Public water * Set in the sought-after Fox Den neighborhood, this striking 4-bedroom Colonial offers a rare combination of character, craftsmanship, & a beautiful natural setting. Lovingly maintained by the same owners since 1986, 10 Shady Ln is tucked on a private lot where a shallow stretch of Hop Brook winds through the backyard. Two Adirondack chairs sit beside the brook, creating a peaceful spot to listen to the water, watch for fish, & enjoy this natural feature. Inside, newly refinished hardwood floors complement gorgeous custom woodwork throughout, while the spacious living room and large family room each feature a wood-burning fireplace. The family room, located just off the kitchen, showcases beautiful beams & built-ins, overlooks both the front & backyard, and opens to a large rear deck. The neutral, partially updated kitchen connects naturally to the dining room and family room, while a first-floor half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers his-and-her closets and a private full bath, joined by three additional bedrooms and another full bath. All three chimneys were recently professionally cleaned & substantially updated. This distinctive and special property pairs classic Colonial architecture & exceptional woodwork with a private brookside setting in one of West Simsbury's established neighborhoods.
