This isn't just a phrase - Location IS Everything! Set on a private 1+ acre lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape offers peace, privacy, and incredible views of the Northwest Hills. The spacious, kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and wood cabinetry. Enjoy the formal dining room, then relax in the living room with a wood-burning fireplace and those panoramic views! The main level includes a convenient first-floor bedroom and 1st first-floor bath. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and an open loft area - perfect for a TV room, office, or den. There is a separate room off the open loft that has an exterior entrance. This space is ideal as a private guest suite, home office, game room with enough room for a pool table and bar, or even a 4th bedroom. 2-car attached garage, exterior rear deck off kitchen, firepit area.
Whether it's summer kayaking on Barkhamsted Reservoir, skiing the slopes at Ski Sundown in winter, fly fishing along the Farmington River in spring, or hiking the Tunxis trails and exploring caves in the fall-this spot is an outdoor paradise all year round!
