You may be wondering why the homeowners are selling so quickly. Flipping luxury homes has always been a passion for them, and they envisioned this property as their ultimate masterpiece. However, with busy schedules juggling successful careers, entertainment commitments, and the demands of a young family, they realized they simply didn’t have the time to devote to this project as they had hoped. Although they are disappointed to part with a home they sincerely appreciate, they recognize that life’s demands can be overwhelming. If you have a vision, this home is your canvas. With minimal improvements, it can transform into a true treasure, reflecting your personal style and enhancing its already remarkable charm.
Beyond the property, the vibrant community offers a variety of activities, including boating and kayaking, allowing you to embrace the lakeside lifestyle fully. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from West Hartford Center, a few minutes from I-84, 2 miles from UCONN Medical Center, and 6 miles from Hartford Hospital, this home perfectly balances luxurious living with easy access to amenities.
This exceptional home offers the ideal blend of modern elegance and serene waterfront living—a captivating retreat waiting for its next lucky owner.
