52 Lilley Road

The Grand Lilley - The Grand Lilley Welcome to 52 Lilley Road, Floor #2 and Floor #3. Located three miles from the ever-popular West Hartford Center is a newly designer renovated two-floor apartment that has all the bells and whistles. This unique apartment is unlike any apartment in town with the amount of space, upscale updates, and the preserved charm of this classic 1930 multi-family house. 52 Lilley is on a corner lot in a very desirable and quiet neighborhood with almost all single-family houses. The lot is oversized and provides outdoor space and plenty of parking including a garage spot. Vanderbilt Park is two blocks away. Blue Back Square and West Hartford center are about twenty minutes walking. The Center is known for its high-end restaurants and outdoor dining; incredible happy hours and lively bar scenes, and endless ice cream options. There you will also find a movie theater, library, specialty yoga studios and gyms, and lots of great shopping. Kiplinger’s magazine considers it nationally as one the best town centers. This location is also very convenient to public transportation on Farmington Ave and only a short drive to all major highways and downtown Hartford. West Hartford is also known for some of the best public schools in the state. Whiting Lane elementary and their playing fields and courts are around the corner. The apartment begins with a private front entrance that showcases the charm and craftsmanship with the original balusters, railings and antique hand carved coat rack from when this house was built. There is an enclosed front porch right off this hallway to enjoy a morning coffee and escape for some sun. The entire second floor has beautiful red oak hardwood floors. The finishes in this apartment are still preserved from the 1930’s like the large wood fluted columns and shelves that separate the living room from the dining room. The focal point of the living room is a stately brick wood fireplace. The wall between the dining room and kitchen was recently opened creating a desired open layout where you can be in the kitchen and see all the way into the living room and front of the apartment. The entire kitchen was gutted, and redesigned including moving the plumbing fixtures so that the sink could line up with the wall opening. Custom designer wood cabinets, granite counters, under mounted sink, subway tile backsplash, recessed lights, and all new stainless-steel appliances complete this stunning kitchen. You will be the first to use this kitchen and it’s so rare to see a custom kitchen put into a multi-family house. There is a useful pantry right off the kitchen for more storage. The open lay out of living room, dining room and kitchen is all on one side of the apartment. The other side of the apartment has two good size bedrooms separated by a full bathroom that also has been updated with a new vanity and fixtures. The owner didn’t just stop there for luxury updates and he added in a ductless central air system to both the 2nd and 3rd floor! This ductless system also can provide heat; however, there is also ideal hot water radiators for the primary heat. What makes this apartment one-of-a-kind, besides the luxury updates, is the combination of the third floor. On the third floor you will find two more large bedrooms, a beautiful ceramic tile shower (yes, this apartment has two full baths!), and a wet bar. The wet bar is a great addition for this floor as it has a refrigerator, granite counters and cabinet storage. Like a mini kitchen, this wet bar makes the third floor almost like an entirely separate apartment. This arrangement is ideal for roommates and privacy. All the flooring is new on the 3rd floor and the entire apartment has been professionally painted neutral colors. Again, the third floor has as a brand new installed ductless central air unit as well! This is typically never seen in a multi-family house and makes this one of the best third floors in a multi-family that we have seen. This is a very dedicated owner that loves his properties. A new roof is being installed in the next week. Please keep in mind there is a strict application process. The owner requires a minimum of 675+ credit score. There is a background and employment/income verification as well. One year minimum lease. Tenant pays for electric, gas, oil. Owner pays for water, landscaping and snow removal. A washer and dryer are included in the rental. Pet’s considered on a case by case basis. Thank you for considering The Grand Lilley for your next home. Anthony (RLNE6168489)
