Bloomfield's Hidden Gem: A Home for Easy Living

Nestled in the peaceful Greens at Gillette Ridge, this Bloomfield home stands out for its thoughtful design and prime location. It's one of 168 homes in the development, tucked away at the back for extra quiet. The owners chose this spot carefully. They wanted privacy and lots of natural light. The home faces mostly south and west. This means they don't look directly at neighbors. They can still see them from the deck, but it's not in your face. This home is special for another reason. The person selling it used to help design the whole community. They were a landscape architect. They know every detail of the place. This home has three floors. But it's also set up for one-floor living. The main bedroom and laundry are on the first floor. This is great for people who don't want to climb stairs. The community takes care of landscaping, lawn maintenance, and snow removal. This is perfect for busy people or those who travel often. Bradley International Airport is also close by. This makes travel a breeze. The home's design is open and airy. The entry foyer has high ceilings. It leads to a large loft and sitting area on the second floor. From the loft, you can see the living room below. The living room has a vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is a highlight. It has granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a double door pantry. The breakfast area is in a half-octagon turret. This adds architectural interest and lots of natural light. The dining room has crown molding and open views.
