Welcome to Blueberry Brook Cottage! This updated Cape Cod home offers a perfect blend of country charm and walkability to everything Simsbury has to offer.

Nestled on a 0.36-acre lot, the home's yard is like a secret garden, inviting you to explore its hidden corners. The terraced yard features wildflower gardens, a blueberry trail that follows the seasonal brook (giving the cottage its name), a small pond which occasionally plays host to mallards and wood ducks, and walking paths throughout. Inside, the home features an open plan family room with wood burning fireplace, dining room, breakfast nook and kitchen, all with views to the garden. The kitchen is updated with modern appliances, quartzite countertops, and a small pantry. Adjacent to the living room is a large screened porch to enjoy bug free summer nights.

Upstairs, you'll find the large 15' by 17' primary bedroom, a third bedroom, and another updated full bathroom. The unfinished basement offers the potential for an additional 825 square feet of space.
Recent updates in the last five years include two new bathrooms, kitchen, high-efficiency heat pump system with central AC and heating,vinyl siding, new hot water heater, hardwood floors, added insulation, a new driveway, a new garage door, and many more. Built in 1958, Blueberry Brook Cottage is now ready for its third owner. Come see why the previous two fell in love with this home.
