Located just half a mile from West Hartford Center, this 3-4 bedroom, 2-bath home boasts incredible charm, modern updates, and period details. The first floor features high ceilings, large updated windows, contemporary light fixtures, hardwood floors, and beautiful architectural details. The floor plan is flexible! The main level includes multiple living spaces, a spacious dining room, an updated kitchen, a full bath, and a mudroom. The second level offers four bedrooms (town card has three), a full bath, and numerous closets. This home also has a front porch, a side porch, and a back porch! The front porch embodies everything you'd expect from a Victorian, with lovely details and views toward the center down Arundel. The back porch includes a potting shed, perfect for gardening enthusiasts and convenient for storing cushions during the off-season or unexpected summer rains. The back porch is large enough for outdoor meals and entertaining, overlooking the yard. The yard is open, flat, and level. There is a two-car detached garage with a full walk-up. This space over the garage can be used as a workshop but also has the potential to be converted into a home office or recreation area!
