135/137 Whitney

Welcome to The House Apartment. You will be really surprised to see how large this second floor apartment is. Every room is oversized and it truly feels more like a house than an apartment. The first thing you will notice walking up to the house is a private second floor "oversized" veranda porch that stretches the entire width of the house. This is a great space to hang out with some friends or to relax with some outdoor living space. The front door to the apartment leads right into a large living room that has five double-hung windows and a beautiful wood fireplace. This space gets drenched in natural light . Again, the common theme is how big this living room is. You could fit any size sectional couch or furniture arrangement. it makes a great central hangout spot for a movie night or watching the big game. The fireplace is just one example of the character in this 1910 historic home. You have 9-foot ceilings that make the rooms feel even bigger. You have original, extra wide baseboards, and solid wood doors, and window casement and crown molding trim that you couldn't buy today. There is a built-In hutch in the dining room that makes a great bar. There are red oak hardwood floors that go throughout the entire apartment. This apartment has so much character that it feels like it's alive with its own personality and soul. One of the biggest surprises is how large each of the three bedrooms are. This is a great setup for roommates and splitting the apartment evenly. All three bedrooms are separated nicely which adds privacy. There is a back hallway that leads to two of the bedrooms, the full bathroom, the kitchen and dining room. The most recent upgrade is a newer bathroom with a newer tile floor, subway tile walls, Kohler fixtures, and marble top vanity. The best part of the apartment is the location. You are walking distance to Mo's Midtown, a great breakfast spot. Other favorite West End spots like Tangiers, are a couple of blocks away. You are three blocks from the West Hartford line (Fern and Prospect) and about 7 minutes door-to-door to West Hartford Center/Blue Back Square. Elizabeth Park is three blocks in the other direction from Mo's. Enjoy open fields, outdoor yoga, rose gardens, summer (free) concert series. UConn Law school is three blocks east. The house is located in a recently designated historic district and there are some beautifully restored houses on the street. This is North of Farmington Ave. There are newer efficient mechanicals like a natural gas boiler and gas water heater that help keep the bills responsible. The tenant is responsible for heating and electricity. The owner is responsible for water bill and all landscaping and snow removal. This apartment is on the 2nd floor. Washer/Dryer included in unit.
