The Maplewood Second - Welcome to 45 Maplewood Ave. If you have ever driven down Maplewood Ave. you will realize it’s one of the most unique streets in the area for multi-family homes. Almost every house on the street is a multi-family (there are some nice single families sprinkled in) and they all have their own early 1900’s look that are sadly not duplicated these days. The majority of them have inviting front porches and stunning architectural details. The character of these homes screams to you when pulling up and once inside each apartment has its one-of-a-kind layout and period trim. The materials and skilled craftsmanship was in its prime when these homes were being built. These are the types of apartments that you don’t forget living in and the farthest from a cookie cutter.

This second-floor apartment is a great example. One of the best features is the enclosed front porch that is made up of all windows and gets drenched with sun light. This elevated, bright, airy space is an awesome bonus living space to this already spacious apartment. Abutting the front porch is the oversized living room that is highlighted by a wood mantle fireplace and stunning millwork with the crown molding and decorative window and door casings. There is a period french door that separate this space from the center dining room that will really surprise in size and detail. The coffered ceilings in the dining room and built-in hutch/bar is a very rare find and adds to the grand feeling. Transitioning to the kitchen you go through a convenient butler’s pantry for storage and there is a high efficiency front loading washer and dryer that shares this space. The washer and dryer will stay with the apartment and is included.

The kitchen has space for table and has a popular gas stove and a dishwasher. Off the kitchen there is a bonus room. This could be a small third bedroom (no closet) or an office, walk-in closet. There are lots of options for this room. The bathroom has a large vanity and mirror and separates the two other bedrooms.

Overall, the layout here is the real winner. The common rooms are distinctively separated from the bedrooms. The bedrooms are separated by the bathroom providing nice privacy if it’s a roommate situation. The ½ bedroom (bonus room) is very versatile.

You can’t get a better location; You are a mile from the popular West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square. There you will find outdoor dining, live music, lively bars, movie theater, and specialty/niche gyms. Farmington Ave. is one block away. It’s a short back road commute to downtown Hartford or an easy option to take public transportation. I-84 is minutes away. All of the homes are the street are very well taken care of and in demand. These are all “trophy” multi-family houses.

Owner is responsible for water, snow removal, landscaping. There are two off street assigned parking spots. The property is professionally managed.
