Welcome to The Storyteller - Executive One Bedroom Apartments.
Nestled in one of the most historic locations in all of Connecticut and neighboring one of the most famous properties in the world, LaSala Real Estate is proud to present a completely restored building appropriately called "The Storyteller."
The Storyteller is named because next door two of the country's most recognized authors lived, Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, when Hartford was known as a mecca for publishing.
In renovating this building, great detail was made to honor the beauty of the Mark Twain's house by choosing to restore the exterior cedar shingles, intricate wood trim, and stunning circular porches. The original exterior colors of the property were also brought back, and the property is once again a worthy neighbor and a landmark in the West End.
Inside the building you will find unique modern one bedrooms that each have their own character. Most layouts offer a separate living room space, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom.
Everything inside the building is new: electrical, plumbing, flooring, kitchens, bath, high-efficient natural gas heating, walls, doors, windows, hardware, fire alarm, and the list goes on.
Some of the best parts of the apartments are the soaring high ceilings and the natural light that pours in through the oversized new windows. These new windows had to be specially approved by the historic committee as a close replica of the originals.
Another plus is the builder installed all new hardwood floors throughout the entire building. Likewise, all the kitchens have quartz counters.
Each unit has its own electrical panel with plenty of convenient outlets in the apartment. Each unit also has a high-efficient natural gas heating system to control the heat to your desires and offers a very affordable bill.
All the bathrooms are oversized and have easy to clean fiberglass shower/tub combos and chrome fixtures.
The building is professionally managed. The entire building is also fenced-in and well-lit, and since the building is located on a corner lot, it feels like its own community. Each apartment comes with its own parking spot.
This building will have extended quiet hours with a focus on academia and a professional atmosphere. There is a minimum credit score of 675 required and a strict background and employment verification. Only one month security with a strong application. Tenant pays for electric and gas. Snow removal, landscaping, water, trash are all included.
Email is fastest and best to set up a private showing.
Thanks for considering The Storyteller for your next home.
