www.252ridgewoodroad.com. 617-233-7456. Sited near the high point on an acre of land in the heart of West Hartford, the house at 252 Ridgewood Road (an "L-shaped colonial", as it's called in the trade) has nine rooms, three bedrooms, three full baths plus lavatory, and was constructed in the grand style, with crown moldings, rich hardwood floors, and many other finely crafted details and unusual architectural features.
The back yard is a private, quiet, far-from-the-street world of its own. On the largest parcel of land on the east side of Ridgewood, the grounds include an outbuilding, nature paths, and space that could accommodate tennis courts, golf hole, pool...the perfect property for anyone not wanting to be confined by a typical in-town lot...all of this in a prime West Hartford location.The 13'x24' living room has a fireplace, bay window, and opens onto the all-year sun porch, while the front hall with vestibule leads through the den to the family room. Rich, never-walked-on quarter-sawn oak floors throughout. An unusual divided stairway, with mahogany railing and volute, provides a "secret" back way to the kitchen.The master bedroom (14'x17') has beautiful oak flooring, windows overlooking the back yard and beyond, and a 75 sq. ft. master bath with new marble floor and oversized square tub/shower.
