Classic New England charm and modern updates abound in this Cape Cod-style home! Set back from the road on a sizable landscaped lot, the home is much larger than it first appears. The sun-filled living room features a picture window, hardwood floors, and a cozy fireplace with built-in bookshelves. The sizable kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances opens to a skylit family room allowing the chef to work with friends or family nearby. A first-floor bedroom and full bath offer the convenience of one-level living if desired, while a second full bath and two additional bedrooms are upstairs. The fenced-in backyard provides a private retreat, with a large deck accessible via French doors in the family room. Homeowner upgrades include a new roof (2018), a high-efficiency gas furnace and tankless hot water heater (2020), new air conditioning (2018), upgrade to 200 amp electrical (2018), and an irrigation system (2021). Solar panels were added in 2019 and are fully owned, meaning you can realize electrical savings immediately! Enjoy optional membership in the neighboring Woodridge Association (Woodridge Lake and Wood Pond), featuring activities like fishing, sailing, canoeing, and swimming at the private beach. You will also be minutes from Cornerstone Aquatics Center, Veterans Memorial Skating Rink, and Buena Vista Golf Course. A perfect blend of comfort and location-don't miss this West Hartford gem!
