Peyton’s Perfect West Hartford Pied-a-Terre

The rumor mill worked overtime this week to put Peyton Manning in West Hartford looking at homes. As far as we’re concerned, it’s just a rumor. But, if the future Hall of Fame quarterback is in the market for a local property, then we have the perfect place!

If Manning were to come to Greater Hartford, then all he would need is a modest pied-a-terre for when he’s in town for work. Of the many roles that would be available to him at ESPN, it seems unlikely that he would need to be in town for extended periods of time. He could fly in for a day or two if he’s doing a Sunday studio show, and would be here even less often if he’s planning to be in the broadcast booth.

The All-Pro really just needs a place to crash, and this is it.

The living room is perfect for reviewing game footage on the big screen. Many of Manning’s biggest triumphs have been viewed in this very space. And, if we’re going to keep it in the family, many of Eli’s career highlights were seen here too.

It’s a condo, so there is no need to figure out the logistics of property maintenance, or to have someone keep an eye on the place while he’s away. Convenience extends to transportation too. There is excellent access to the highway, so the drive out to ESPN would be nice and efficient. There’s a garage in the basement, and the airport is a quick ride up the road.

The kitchen has excellent space for making chicken parm. There are Papa John’s restaurants nearby. There is, of course, plenty of Budweiser available. And if he wants to audible at dinner time, Omaha Steaks is nearby too.

This condo has been officially certified as perfect for tall people (just kidding, that’s not a real thing). But Manning is 6’5″ … and so is the seller! So there is plenty of headroom throughout.

Right next door is Elizabeth Park, with plenty of room to keep the arm in shape throwing to neighborhood kids. After working up a sweat, hop in the community’s pool to relax and cool down.

The place is perfect. If anyone runs into Manning, or his people, please give them a heads up that his next home is waiting. Thanks!
