The real estate agent for a new construction Connecticut home is urging homebuyers to act fast: with just two three new construction homes available in town, this is a rare, one-of-a-kind opportunity to personalize your dream home.
“There is nothing available for new construction in one of the most sought-after towns that ranks among the best places to live in Connecticut,” the real agent, Monika Pietras says, referring to West Hartford.
Construction is set to begin on the nine room, 6,400-square-foot home located at 21 Rushleigh Road. The home’s design blends classic colonial architecture with the elegance of a French farmhouse.
The now-cleared lot will span just over one acre and present a secluded haven surrounded by a natural barrier of trees for ultimate privacy, and convenience to neighborhood walking paths. The project has an anticipated completion time of 10 to 12 months.
21 Rushleigh Road, West Hartford
With three floors of living space, this home will be appointed with an exceptional collection of high-end, contemporary finishes that buyers are looking for today. These include crown molding, prefinished engineered hardwood floors throughout, quartz countertops, nine-foot ceilings, a deck and a patio, two laundry areas and a mudroom. All of the open and airy spaces will be bathed in natural light and offer great entertaining opportunities.
The home will include a 1,400-square-foot finished lower level, ideal for multi-generational living or stays by extended family. A great room, fitness area and full bath are planned for this level.
A convenient main level primary suite will offer a large, dividable closet and an en suite with dual vanities, a shower and a bath tub. Rounding out this floor will be a great room with a propane fireplace, a dining room, a safe room which abuts the office and staircase, and a kitchen.
The design concept integrates the kitchen to the great room and the dining space. The chef’s kitchen will be highlighted by a generous quartz island, state-of-the-art appliances, modern cabinetry, a tile backsplash and a large pantry.
The tiled mudroom provides a transition between the three-car garage and the rest of the main level and will be conveniently nestled near the laundry room (with a sink) and half bathroom. The interior stairs will be adorned by black aluminum spindles, an oak rail and oak treads with poplar risers.
The second-floor landing will offer a view of the great room below. A loft and a versatile office/library space will be complemented by four generously-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms on this level. The home’s second laundry space will be situated here too.
The home will be built for super energy efficiency with 20 LED recessed lights, exterior insulation, a multi-layered exterior wall system and foam insulation applied to all window and door surrounds. Enter into the home through a Therma-tru fiberglass door which will also provide energy efficiency, security and durability.
Additional amenities will include public water, a septic system, two hot water tanks and Anderson gliding windows and doors. A two-zone heating and cooling system with forced air supplied by an underground 500-gallon propane gas tank will heat the home. It will be cooled by central air conditioning.
The exterior will have a stucco finish tied together by an asphalt shingle metal roof. Three fiberglass garage doors will each be fitted with windows. The asphalt driveway will provide access to a paver stone front walkway with granite steps into the home.
The backyard will be enhanced by an 18-by-18-foot paver patio, also with granite steps. A deck will be attached to the structure too. The landscaping package includes shrubs, trees and sod planted grass.
Jason Levesque Construction LLC of Simsbury is the builder. In addition to serving as the listing agent and handling the sale of the home, Pietras will be guiding clients through the customization selections, which come with a sizable allowance. There is still time for further enhancements, upgrades, modifications or adjustments to the design plans.
The homebuyers will enjoy peace of mind with a one-year warranty, plus a five-year waterproof basement warranty.
Located off the Balfour Road and in the Old Mountain Road neighborhood, the home is only minutes to Bishops Corner, Blue Back Square, West Hartford Center and sought-after restaurants, shopping, entertainment, golf, cultural events, parks, outdoor recreation and hiking/biking trails, particularly the renowned West Hartford Reservoir trails.
“Many people enjoy walking in this neighborhood,” Pietras says.
The home is listed for $1,750,000. Pietras says there has been a lot of interest in this new construction and she is looking to secure a buyer as soon as possible.
