Welcome to a one-of-a-kind contemporary home on the prestigious Governor’s Row section of Prospect Avenue. Imagined by architect Henry Darbee, and influenced by the International Style, this stunning property is a private mountainside retreat with spectacular views of the Hartford skyline.
Distinctive copper doors draw you in to a private courtyard with koi pond and access to the deck overlooking the City.
The main level was transformed by Peter Robbin into a sleek, yet inviting, modern home that was featured in Hartford Magazine. The living room has a fireplace and opens to the large deck. There is a wet bar, a dining room with a vaulted ceiling, skylights and built-in storage. The kitchen has been reorganized and includes granite counters, stainless steel appliances and counter seating. The entire level features expansive windows, integrated sound and recessed lighting on dimmers. An updated powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs, a bright and airy master suite is your private retreat. The level includes vaulted ceilings, a full bath with separate shower and jetted tub, walk-in closet, built-in storage and gas fireplace. Most impressive of all is the private balcony overlooking the City. There is also an additional room that could be used as a study or bedroom.
The guest bedroom is one level below the main living area, and is adjacent to an updated full bath. There is an additional room that is open to the space below that could be a bedroom, family room or study. The walk-out lower level features a family room with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and modern built-in storage. It is another excellent space for either entertaining or relaxing, and a second water feature is integrated into the patio just outside a wall of windows.
The home has a detached 2 car garage, irrigation system and security system. There is central air conditioning, multiple heating zones and central vacuum. Laundry is located both on the top level and the lowest level, and there is also wine storage downstairs.
This is a truly special property with majestic views and a sense of peacefulness that is unusual to find in such a convenient and central location within Greater Hartford. It must be experienced in person!
