Description

Welcome to 41 Westledge Road - a unique expanded Cape on nearly two acres of mature landscaped gardens and tranquil forest in West Simsbury. Just up the road from Tulmeadow ice cream and the "Eggs" Farm, this hidden gem is equally a peaceful oasis in natural surroundings and a special gathering place for family and friends, ideal both for entertaining and quiet retreats. It offers 3,240 square feet of thoughtfully designed, flexible, living space. As you enter the home, you'll be surprised by the large, open layout. A light-filled two-level living area offers recent improvements like hardwood flooring and recessed lighting, along with charming original features. A cozy sitting area with a small, brick fireplace flows into a larger sunken living room with a second over-sized, stone fireplace, and a slider into the central courtyard. This versatile space also includes a recessed area with built in bookcases and storage that currently serves as an elegant home office. At the heart of this home is the beautifully remodeled kitchen with a large central island, butcher block countertops, farmhouse sink, lighted drawers, modern appliances, and abundant storage. The kitchen is connected to both a charming breakfast area and a dining room that easily seats eight and opens via a slider to the central courtyard and gardens, making it easy to host gatherings of any size. On the first floor, you'll also find a mudroom with stone flooring, a remodeled full bathroom, and two spacious bedrooms, one including a primary suite with dual closets and full bath. A delightful sitting or reading area leads to the Great Room at the rear of the house with a vaulted wooden ceiling, bay window, and striking brick wall with a wood-burning stove. Upstairs, discover two additional bedrooms and another stylishly updated, full bathroom, providing ample space and privacy for family or guests. Outside, the property offers three distinct outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertaining. The welcoming front deck is perfect for enjoying fresh air, a morning tea or coffee, and greeting guests. The private rear yard features a spacious brick courtyard surrounded by a cottage garden with established perennials, flower beds, stone walls, and a fish pond. Relax in this peaceful setting or host family and friends here. There's plenty of room for lawn games, barbequing, and playing horseshoes. A stone path leads to the upper level of the garden, where a lawn perfect for volleyball, badminton, and kid's soccer games, sits next to a fenced-in large in-ground pool, recently updated with a new liner. Also accessible via a pathway from the front yard, or directly from the Great Room, this pool area with nearby fire-pit promises endless hours of enjoyment and relaxation. Additional highlights include a brand-new roof and a 7-year-old cast-iron boiler, ensuring both comfort and peace of mind. This desirable property benefits from a right-of-way driveway, providing exclusive access without sharing agreements. Don't miss the chance to make this extraordinary home your own.
