160 Kenyon Street, Hartford, CT 06105

Welcome to 160 Kenyon. Designed by the renowned architect Russell F. Barker, he made a point to make this home a statement. Built in 1918, this beautiful home retains majority of its original features while providing modern conveniences. Enjoy the historic Elizabeth Park that is just a stone's throw away. When you enter the home, you are greeted by a full walnut entryway leading to the foyer where your eyes are caught by the grand staircase. Enter the Parlor through the french folding doors where you will not be able to help but want to entertain guests. The large marble fireplace is perfect to enhance the ambiance. Mingle, dance, and move in and out of the Parlor to the brick patio through the french doors. Proceed to the Oval Dining Room where you will be in awe at the rich, curved black walnut walls, custom drawers, and cabinets. Cocktails can also be enjoyed in the Cigar Room that is attached to this beautiful dining room. All your mind will do is imagine all of your experiences and memories you can create in this home. The kitchen has been retained with original features including the large slate sink but updated with modern conveniences such as a Sub Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. The two pantries give ample space for a coffee bar, dry goods, and dishes. The Laundry is also conveniently located in the hallway just off the kitchen in the larger remodeled closet. Washer & Dryer are only 2 years old. As you wander through the home marveling at the craftsmanship, take notice of the labor intensive quarter sawn oak floors, blown glass doorknobs, and Steuben lighting. Take note of the staircase and you may find a hidden treasure--a custom hand-painted safe concealed behind panel doors reminiscent of a safe from the Titanic guarding the "Heart of the Ocean." At the top of the staircase, you will find large custom leaded glass windows perfect for natural light. This floor will also have the Primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and balcony, 3 large bedrooms, and 1 full bathroom. The third floor is a perfect space with 3 bedrooms and a full bath which can accommodate guests, a dressing room, office, or an art/playroom. The opportunities are endless. The memories will be endless. Sold As-Is. Agent Owner.
