Beautifully Restored Family Farmhouse
A very special family home which is also terrific for entertaining. Completely remodeled very large eat-in kitchen, and added a fully finished basement including lower level full bathroom, kitchen level laundry room. There is a large back deck which is hidden from the road and great for grilling and entertaining in the summer as it is in the shade after about midday and there are two other porches. It is a corner lot with yard on two sides, so there is easy access to the side streets where kids can ride their bikes safely. The elegant and spacious dining room plus family room and living room, five bedrooms, one being used as a study, plus huge basement make for a really comfortable house for a family. Large rear shed suitable for conversion to a garage. Huge attic space. High ceilings, tasteful decor, original wide pine floors. Many improvements and updates since purchase in 2002. Horseshoe driveway. Recent landscaping. Friendly neighborhood and outstanding local schools.

Local / Regional Links.
The local elementary school is within easy walking distance and is a great neighbourhood school with the additional benefit of a "classical curriculum" - students start French in 1st grade and do Latin in fifth grade. The teachers are terrific and our children loved it there. All students have the chance to take up an instrument in fourth grade and the band and orchestra are also really good.
Hall High School, an easy bike ride away on quiet side streets
This is one of the two excellent high schools in West Hartford. One of our children is in his second year here and loves it. The music, sports, theatre and choral programs are excellent, most especially the jazz program. Kids here go on to excellent colleges and are extremely well-prepared.
The new shopping and entertainment area of West Hartford.
Movies, restaurants, Crate and Barrel, Barnes and Noble and lots of lovely boutiques in an almost quaint, walkable centre has added a new dimension to West Hartford.
