This is West Hartford's best kept secret! There are 25 distinctive homes on an 11 acre parcel which was the former Cornelius J. Vanderbilt estate. He had the encompassing stone wall built in 1880+-. This is one of a few Tudor homes there, and one of 3 homes that retained the original leaded glass windows. What sets this home apart from most is that the entire interior is only 6 years old. It was gutted to the original studs, insulated to today's standards, and completed in a magnificent manor at a cost of $450,000. All 3 levels have oak flooring; the kitchen is and looks like a $100,000. chef's kitchen. This is a 6 year old home with an unduplicatable exterior and location. This home's classic stucco and brick exterior is crowned by a durable slate roof which will last indefinitely, with yearly servicing. The 3rd floor suite offers a spa like retreat, with a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a walk in shower as a private primary suite, guest quarters, or a work from home sanctuary. With 5 bedrooms, a large finished upper level, central air, and a Tesla EV charger in the garage, this precious home adapts to many lifestyles. Located just minutes from Elizabeth Park, West Hartford Center, top rated schools and Blue Back Square, this historic gem offers elegance, comfort, and everyday convenience. You'll also have a new feeling of pride of ownership.
