The Grand Lilley - Welcome to 52 Lilley Road. This trophy two-family has been updated for modern living but has preserved all the charm! We call this first-floor apartment, The Grand Lilley!

The spacious open front porch is a great example of the grand features. This porch is a true throwback to when porches were the most desired/used space at a house.

The porch is one our favorite features as its large enough to make an outdoor living space, and also feels totally connected to your apartment. It conveniently backs to your living room windows and is right outside your front door for easy access and flow.

The apartment begins off the front porch into a living room with original wood fluted columns that separates the living room from the dining room. The workmanship and condition of these columns is like they were built yesterday, but they are almost 100 years old! These columns on the bottom have built-in bookshelves, another example of the grand charm.

The spacious living room is big enough for a large tv and couch and the brick fireplace adds a distinctive ambiance. The natural light from the wall of living room windows drenches the space in sunlight with additional light from unique picture windows around the fireplace wall.

All the windows have been updated to efficient Thermopane windows and there is a new roof on the property!

The biggest wow factor is the new quartz countered kitchen. This kitchen with white quartz counters, shaker cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances is right out of pottery barn catalog. The undermounted sink, subway tile backsplash, recessed lights, brushed nickel hardware, all help complete this stunning kitchen that is rare to find in a multi-family house. There is also 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. This is a great setup for roommates since the bathroom between the rooms offers more privacy. The entire apartment has hardwood floors throughout.

The last surprise is a ductless central air system that all provides efficient heat.

The apartment is located three miles from the ever-popular West Hartford Center and is on a corner lot in a very desirable and quiet neighborhood of single-family houses. The oversized lot has a great yard and plenty of parking including a garage spot.

Vanderbilt Park is two blocks away. Blue Back Square and West Hartford center are about a twenty-minute walk.

The Center is known for its high-end restaurants, outdoor dining, incredible happy hours, 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 in the country!

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 are around the corner.
