A truly exceptional brick Colonial, set on 2 private, level acres in Simsbury, offers panoramic Farmington Valley and mountain views, with direct hiking-trail access. Built for both entertaining and everyday family life, it offers space without giving up Simsbury schools, trails, and a quiet, established neighborhood. Inside, a two-story marble foyer and 10-foot first-floor ceilings lead to a spacious chef's kitchen of approximately 1,000 square feet, with a large island, fireplace, informal dining area, double wall ovens, double microwaves, double dishwashers, and three sinks. The formal dining room has a tray ceiling and three large windows framing the views. The first-floor primary suite includes a Brazilian cherry wood office/library, and the second-floor primary suite has its own private study/office. Seven fireplaces, a circular driveway, a large Trex deck, and a flat backyard complete the main living spaces. The lower level is partially finished. Top-rated Simsbury schools and preserved open space are nearby, about 2 miles from the International Skating Center, approximately 20-25 minutes to Hartford and 15-20 minutes to Bradley International Airport. Additional features and upgrades: Two 1,000-gallon underground propane tanks, owned by the seller. Solar panels installed in 2020, owned by the seller, generate surplus energy that helps offset winter heating. All four garages have new epoxy flooring, and a detached outbuilding can function as a fifth garage with additional storage. Recent upgrades include a newly paved walkway, outdoor fireplace, hardwood flooring, walk-in closets, fencing, sprinkler system, and new landscaping. The home features a five-zone heating and cooling system and a whole-house generator. Additional options: Exchange considered for other residential or commercial properties.
