A stunning townhouse offers a carefree lifestyle, inside and outside. This 3,251-square-foot expansive home features four levels of living, an open space floor plan, room to entertain, plenty of work-from-home spaces, great natural light and an array of updates.
Built in 2008 and priced at $599,000, this three-bedroom and four-bathroom home, at 36 Park Place Circle, unit 36, in West Hartford, is a former model unit that is full of ambiance and warmth. The large home offers a total of 3,251 square feet and is a standout in the 148-unit, self-contained luxury development.
This home is also an end unit, one of the most desirable homes in the complex. It offers a fenced-in, flat yard and a private deck. Its location affords views into Beachland Park, which features a huge pond, basketball courts, soccer fields, a baseball diamond, a swimming pool and paths for jogging and biking.
Hardwood flooring on the main level, upgrades in molding and trim, new closets with built-ins, a walk-up third floor loft and a finished lower level with an additional bathroom are some of the expansive upgrades that have been done.
Enter the main door into a large foyer. The main level offers a very open concept with a combined living and dining room space, a gas log fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, access to your private deck and a half bath.
The chef’s kitchen is fitted with plenty of cabinets (some with open glass fronts), double sinks, granite counters, gas cooking, stainless appliances and a tile backsplash. A coffee station or beverage area is convenient for everyday use or large gatherings.
Three bedrooms and two full baths grace the upstairs. The primary en suite is a majestic space with a cathedral ceiling, a sitting area, an office and a walk-in closet with modern built-ins. Relish in the large bath with double sinks, a soaking tub and a separate stall shower. The other two bedrooms on this level share the common hall bathroom.
A walk-up loft or bonus room makes a great home office, a game room, a relaxation space, an art studio and more. The space is light and bright with a skylight.
The fully finished lower level could be used as guest quarters, a home theater, a recreation play area for kids or an office. The versatile living space offers an additional 787 square feet with high ceilings and another full bathroom.
The home is heated by natural gas and cooled by central air conditioning. The property utilizes public water and public sewer. A two-car attached garage rounds out the home.
Park Place Circle is easily accessible by taking South Quaker Lane to School House Drive, and then turning onto Park Place Circle.
The home is an easy walk to shopping, dining, entertainment, cultural events and major thoroughfares. Take a walk or bike to West Hartford’s GastroPark, a year-round food truck park renowned for vendors, lively music and hanging out.
“The new Elmwood Community Center also abuts the park and will be walking distance from this beautiful condo,” says listing agent Evan L. Berman, a realtor with Broder Team at William Raveis.
“There are also plenty of gyms, the Design District of West Hartford, a variety of restaurants and activities, such as pottery making shops and more,” Berman adds. The Design District is a unique independent business community which provides home design services. of W
Just steps away is the popular Trout Brook Trail, a long-term greenway project, for walkers, runners and bike enthusiasts alike. It stretches nearly four miles at up to 10-feet wide and follows Trout Brook Drive from New Park Avenue to Asylum Avenue.
Follow the trail north and you can walk all the way to Blue Back Square, a shopping, restaurant and entertainment destination in West Hartford.
A monthly $523 association fee allows full access to the community’s heated in-ground pool, a children’s pool, an exercise room/health club with a sauna, a gathering space for parties and get-togethers, and a playground set for kids. In addition to these amenities, the fee includes grounds maintenance, snow removal and property management.
