The Brooklyn Brick - Welcome to Fairview’s Brooklyn Brick. This is a rare brick three-family that are not found in West Hartford and amazingly has retained a lot of its original character. The classic exterior brick, eyebrow arches over the windows, and the brown stone foundation brings a Brooklyn, NY charm and vibe to it. This is a very cool property, and it gets better inside.

Walking in the front door you immediately see the amazing fir floors that are in perfect condition. It’s almost impossible to buy douglas fir floors anymore, and never that are 100 years old and have the characteristic orange and red undertones that are truly mesmerizing. These floors run throughout the entire apartment and are a cherished jewel!

The charm continues with the stately and original wood columns in the living room, the natural stained window and door casings, baseboards, and of course, the antique stained-glass window. In the mornings your living room lights up a like a cathedral through this window. This is a naturally very bright apartment. The oversize windows and high ceilings really help fill the space with light and show off the craftmanship.

The apartment is divided in two halves with common rooms on one side and the bedrooms on the other. The common rooms consist of a large kitchen, formal dining room and living room. On the other side of the apartment are two bedrooms about the same size with a full bath in between the bedrooms. A classic open setup for the common rooms and privacy for the bedrooms.

Some recent upgrades include a new kitchen with luxury vinyl plank floors, granite counter, and mosaic tile backsplash. There are also some newer appliances including a stainless-steel space saver microwave above the stove. The new recessed light fixtures in the kitchen make it feel fresh and modern. The kitchen is large enough for a table and to be an eat-in space.

The house also has a new roof, new Thermopane windows, and new high efficiency gas heat/water combo. The property is under new ownership and is continuing to go through upgrades.

A big surprise with the apartment is the attached front porch that is off the living room. This provides again so much natural light and outdoor living space and amazing breezes for three seasons. This is not like most porches that feel detached or inconvenient from the floor plan and flow of the apartment. This is very much a part of the living room and layout and is a favorite of each tenant.

Another highlight is the washer and dryer in the unit that is included and there is a garage spot. The house sits on an oversized lot and there is plenty of parking and some green space. You are about 10 minutes from Blue Back Square and West Hartford Center and almost walking distance to popular West End hangouts like the Spigot and Elizabeth Park. The convenient highway entrance on Sisson is a minute away making commuting easy. Highly rated West Hartford schools!

This apartment is ideally located on the second floor. Your utilities will be the lowest in the house and especially with the new windows and wall hung high efficiency gas boiler. Tenant pays for gas and electric. Owner pays for cold water, landscaping, and snow removal. Pets considered on case-by-case basis. Only one-month security deposit with a strong application.

Please keep in mind a minimum of 675 credit score is required. There is also a background, income and employment verification. This property is professionally managed. Email is preferred and fastest to answer any questions or to setup a private showing.

Thank you for considering Fairview’s Brooklyn Brick for your next home.
