836 Prospect Avenue

Description

Own a piece of Hartford history with this thoughtfully updated Prospect Avenue home, just steps from Elizabeth Park. Designed by noted architects Hapgood & Hapgood, it's a true architectural gem. An enclosed porch welcomes your guests into the exceptional foyer, providing a visual feast of original details. Multiple built-ins, stained and leaded glass windows, period lighting, beamed ceilings, and handsome moldings create a stunning display. The living room offers space for multiple seating areas and is anchored by a woodburning fireplace and quarter sawn oak surround. The dining room has a second fireplace (gas), wainscoting with plate rail, and built-in hutches. The remodeled kitchen has double ovens and two dishwashers, an eat-in area, as well as dry goods and formal butler's pantries, and mudroom access. An office and powder room finish the main floor. Upstairs, the updated primary suite offers a newly added spa bath and walk-in closet with custom organizers. Four additional bedrooms, two which share a powder room, and a remodeled full bathroom complete the second level. The third floor can be an alternative primary suite, au-pair space, or family room. It offers an oversized room with a fireplace, third full bathroom, office, and attic storage. Outside, a rear porch overlooks the large backyard, paver patio, and 3-car garage. A new high efficiency gas boiler and indirect hot water heater were recently installed, as was the third floor furnace and central air.
