17 West Simsbury Rd. , Canton, CT 06019(Hartford County)

Scene-stealer!! This serene, expanded Cape with a 1st-floor primary bedroom sits on a private, level lot in gorgeous north Canton near walking trails, Leonard's Sugar Shack and Tulmeadow Farm. Besides doubling the home's size in 2006, current owners added a 4th bedroom, new kitchen, farmhouse front porch, hot tub and wonderful outdoor shower! Oh yes, and an insulated barn large enough for contractors w/2 addl garage bays! Upstairs is a large romantic room with lovely deck that's used for summer guests but could be fab rec space or studio. The site of two weddings, this yard was designed for entertaining: built-in outdoor grill, firepit and professional landscaping that includes specimen trees, stately Norway Spruce & rock-rimmed flower beds - a gardener's dream! Star-gazing from the hot-tub is ever so sweet with fully-owned solar panels on the back side of the barn where they can't be seen (brilliant!) and 200-amp electrical service. Inside, there's plenty of hardwood, including expensive pegged flooring. The kitchen has everything you need: farmhouse sink, double ovens, granite countertops, cozy fireplace and "kegerator" to bring on the good times! Huge dining room w/fireplace opens to a handsome family room w/3rd fireplace and a spectacular view of the "back 40" through expansive commercial-grade windows. This is balanced, simple living! Come. Relax. Discover this very special home that exudes quality of life, solid relationships and a reverence for the great outdoors.
