Description

Set high on the mountain in West Hartford, this masterfully designed, custom-built contemporary commands spectacular views of the Hartford skyline and dramatic sunrises that will stir your soul. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings and dramatic vantage point, the home unfolds across more than 8,800 square feet of thoughtfully crafted living space. Walls of glass invite the outdoors in, with changing light throughout the day. The residence was designed for those who appreciate unique art and architecture, privacy, and space. Clean lines, soaring ceilings, and generously scaled rooms create a striking yet comfortable environment for everyday living and memorable entertaining. The floor plan balances openness with intimacy, offering places to gather, celebrate, work, and unwind. Four bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths, are thoughtfully arranged to provide comfort and flexibility for family and guests. A four-car garage accommodates both collectors and those seeking additional space for hobbies or storage. Nearly 3.000 square feet make up the finished lower level, with oversized media room, game room and gym, also accessed directly from the main level primary suite. There is a wet bar with full-sized refrigerator, a full bath and changing area. Walk directly outside where the grounds are designed to take full advantage of the property's elevated setting. A fabulous in-ground pool and spa invite summer gatherings or private moonlight swims. You will feel worlds away while remaining just minutes from the restaurants, shops, cultural attractions, and conveniences that have made West Hartford one of Connecticut's most desirable communities. Few properties offer such a compelling blend of architecture, scale, views, and location. This is more than a home; it is a private hillside retreat designed for those who crave exceptional design, remarkable surroundings, and a lifestyle that is anything but ordinary.
