Highest and Best due Mon 5/18 @ 7 PM.With curb appeal, 1920s charm galore, and about 3000 square feet of heated living space, 20 Bishop Road is a great opportunity to live in the heart of West Hartford. From the front entry, the gracious foyer leads through the dining room to the expanded and updated granite/stainless kitchen with island and vaulted ceiling. The family room with wood burning fireplace and carved mantle leads to the sunroom, screened porch, fenced yard and private lighted patio with gas piped grill. Return inside and replacement windows flood the home with natural light throughout the day. The second floor offers 4 nicely sized bedrooms and 2 full baths including the primary bedroom with ensuite. The heated, finished walk up third floor provides 2 rooms and a full bath with original claw foot tub. Downstairs the finished basement with separate entrance from the backyard includes a 4th full bath and bar/kitchenette area. Hardwood floors throughout. This home has been loved by two generations of the same family since 1969, and not surprisingly, there are several homes on this short block that are owned by people who grew up on the street and chose to purchase Bishop Road homes as adults. There isn't a better location endorsement than that. Tucked between Farmington Ave and Kingswood Oxford Prep, Bishop Road is in the heart of West Hartford Center/Blue Back but offers a true friendly neighborhood block experience without the bustle of non-resident traff
In addition to the two main levels of the home counted on the Town Tax Card (2017 SF), additional heated / finished space is located in the walk up third floor (approximately 600 SF) and an additional 588 SF of finished space in the basement.
