Own a piece of history with this gorgeous Tudor home, built in 1927 using rare Connecticut “pot belly brick” and a newly renovated New England slate roof. Situated atop a serpentine drive of hand-laid brick on a .46-acre lot, this 5200+sf beauty boasts 6 bedrooms and 3.1 baths, has a large, detached Garage and professional landscaping with water features in a very private rear yard. Recent renovations include freshly refinished hardwood floors on the first and second floors, Central AC installed in 2022, newly appointed chimneys and slate roofing, a new house generator, and a recent update that added a 4-season sun porch with native stone floors that provides a modern light-filled living space. High ceilings and stunning architectural elements throughout provide an elegant touch to the formal spaces. Off the gracious 2-story Foyer, there’s a large Dining Room, a front-to-back fireplaced Living Room with double sets of paneled French doors to a full-length Sunroom, and a perfectly situated Home Office behind glass French Doors with built-in library shelving. Through solid wood and iron doors off the Dining Room sits a perfect Breakfast Room;an architectural gem of quieter times. You’ll find beautiful leaded glass casement windows throughout. In the kitchen, there’s all the storage you need with pantries that have been restored and updated with new cabinetry, a large picture window, a lovely brick and stone back porch, and a second set of stairs for additional access to other floors. Back in the Foyer, at the top of the grand Turned Staircase, the Primary Suite presents a large bedroom with built-in bookcases on either side of a lovely window seat, as well as a full bath, a separate sitting nook, and another room that can be fitted as the Walk-in Closet of your dreams or another bedroom. The second full bathroom and two more large bedrooms complete the second floor, while the third floor offers two additional bedrooms, a third full bath, and a large cedar closet. On the lower level, there’s a large, fully finished room for additional recreation and workout/exercise, as well as a laundry room and plenty of unfinished storage. This property has been well-maintained and was built to last. The location can’t be beat, with Elizabeth Park and the Rose Gardens a short walk away and easy access to West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square. Conveniently located near Hartford Medical Facilities, with NYC and Boston within a 2 hour drive.
