11 Sunny Reach Drive, West Hartford, CT, 06117 | $850,000

Rare opportunity to own an architectural icon on one of West Hartford's most coveted streets. This designer's home, available for the first time, opens to a spacious two-story foyer. The open floor plan leads to a living room with vaulted ceiling and adjoining dining room where natural light spills through a 2-story wall of glass onto newly finished hardwood floors. This perfect entertaining space has a conversation pit for cozy gatherings by the stone fireplace. The kitchen will delight mid-century design fans: custom metal cabinets with many ahead-of-their-time conveniences, a large island and double ovens surround a gas cooktop and built-in grills. The kitchen's eating area overlooks both the large backyard and family room with built-in media and other custom storage galore, hidden wet bar and newly finished wood floors. The spacious laundry room with extensive storage leads to a mud room, built-in bench/hooks, a side entrance, and the connected two-car garage. The huge primary suite has a loft for a sitting area/office and a balcony overlooking the nearly 2-acre property. The spa-like bath features a soaking tub flanked by a built-in planter to relax among flowers, herbs or greenery. A shower, water closet and marble vanities are steps from 3 closets, including a walk-in. This floor has 3 more spacious bedrooms with large closets, another full bath with double vanity, slate tile and tub/shower, and a laundry chute connecting directly to the laundry room. The 1600 sf basement offers high ceilings and new top-of-the-line furnace, and is plumbed for another bathroom and framed for additional spaces - game room, wine cellar, theater, in-law suite - whatever you imagine. Outside a circular stone driveway winds through garden beds for easy access to the house and garage. Two decks step right into the vast private backyard surrounded by mature trees. A stone path leads through woodlands to frontage on a serenely flowing river. The level flat yard offers plenty of room for gardening, recreation, pool or sports court. With easy access to downtown Hartford, Bishop's Corner, WH Center and University of Hartford, this is a rare opportunity to avoid cookie-cutters and enjoy an iconic house, bucolic property and envied location.
