Charming vintage home just steps from Elizabeth Park: 129 Steele Rd. Step into a timeless, storybook residence located a short walk from the rose-filled paths of Elizabeth Park. This beautifully preserved home blends original period details with comfortable, modern living. Tall windows fill the rooms with natural light, creating warm, inviting spaces ideal for conversation, reading, or relaxed mornings. A sunroom welcomes you at the entry, softened by antique pots and extraordinary plants, and leads to a center hall anchored by an elegant staircase and well-maintained architectural details, including original moldings and woodwork. The kitchen radiates French-style warmth-sunlight on wood surfaces, and a wooden bowl filled with fresh local vegetables gives it a welcoming, lived-in feel, while remaining spacious and adaptable, with excellent potential to expand into a gourmet chef's kitchen without losing the home's soul. Multiple gracious living and dining rooms flow seamlessly for entertaining or quiet family life, and the primary suite and additional bedrooms strike a balance between privacy and classic character. Practical updates and thoughtful systems improvements have been made while preserving the historic integrity throughout. Outside, over half an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds frames the property like a living postcard. Winding garden beds, mature specimen trees, intimate patios, and sheltered lawn areas create a private, magazine-worthy setting. The lot's size and municipal zoning approvals make this property especially rare: the town has already designated the parcel to accommodate an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), and the space and approvals also allow for house expansion, offering significant opportunity for growth while maintaining the home's authentic feel. Enjoy immediate access to Elizabeth Park's renowned gardens and walking paths, nearby neighborhood cafes, and local conveniences that West Hartford has to offer. This property offers a rare combination of unmistakable vintage character, generous outdoor space, and flexible development potential. Move in and savor the home's character as is, or reimagine portions to suit modern needs - either way, this gracious residence is ready to welcome its next chapter. WELCOME HOME!!
