Description

A rare opportunity for city living in an exquisitely restored 1860s Italianate Victorian brownstone, the only single-family residence in downtown Hartford. Situated directly across from the iconic, 50 acre Bushnell Park, this four-story gem is more than a home-it's a piece of living history. From the moment you arrive, the townhome's stately exterior and meticulously restored facade hint at the thoughtful craftsmanship within. Inside, old-world charm meets modern sustainability in a multi-award-winning renovation that spares no detail. Historic elements like exposed brick walls, elegant brownstone arches, and four working fireplaces pair beautifully with soaring ceilings and grand living spaces designed for contemporary comfort. Every inch of this home was renovated with health and efficiency in mind. Enjoy year-round comfort with eight high-efficiency heat pumps, denim insulation, formaldehyde-free cabinetry, and no-VOC finishes. High-performance windows bring in natural light while keeping energy costs low, and an owned rooftop solar array reduces your carbon footprint. The flexible layout includes a private lower-level efficiency apartment-complete with a Murphy bed, dedicated laundry, and its own entrance-perfect for guests, an au pair, a short-term rental, or a work-from-home retreat. This level also opens to a lush, walled garden courtyard, a peaceful oasis ideal for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Set in an unbeatable walkable location, you're just steps from the Bushnell Theater, the Connecticut State Capitol, courthouses, top employers, and a growing mix of shops, restaurants and cultural centers. Whether you're enjoying a concert in the park or a brisk stroll to work, this home offers the ideal balance of urban luxury and green space.
