Set in a sought-after neighborhood, the custom-built Colonial at 4 Romano Court blends timeless architecture with modern updates, offering a home that feels both elegant and deeply comfortable.
With top-rated Farmington schools, convenient access to UConn Health, and Westfarms Mall just minutes away, it strikes the perfect balance between serene living and everyday convenience.
“Location is everything,” says listing agent Cathy McCahill. “You’re close to UConn Health, the mall is practically in your backyard, and you have an incredible mix of restaurants, shops, and recreational amenities right nearby. It’s one of the most desirable areas in Farmington,” said Cathy McCahill of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty. She is handling the sale alongside realtor Svetlana Chklonik.
From the moment you step inside, the two-story foyer makes a statement with its dramatic Palladian window that floods the space with natural light. Hardwood floors stretch across the main level, enhancing the sense of openness. “It’s a sunny home—a happy home,” McCahill notes. “The layout has a dramatic look, but it’s also warm and inviting.”

The main floor is anchored by a spacious great room with soaring vaulted ceilings and oversized Anderson windows. A formal dining room joins a bright living room with a masonry fireplace that serves as a focal point, creating an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. It’s the picture of elegant yet approachable living, one that you can dress up and then unwind in.
“The open concept is one of my favorite things about this house,” says McCahill. “It’s designed for a busy lifestyle, where you can cook, entertain, and be part of everything happening in the great room.” And, while the home’s main living level boasts easy flow, it still prioritizes distinct spaces that feel intimate instead of cavernous.
Unsurprisingly, the heart of the home is a large, light-filled kitchen that opens seamlessly to the great room and back deck. Granite countertops, a center island, and modern appliances—including a new refrigerator—make it a chef’s dream. The Trex deck just outside invites indoor-outdoor living, perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and late-summer cookouts. Yes, there’s still time to fire up the grill and play catch in the yard. The home sits on a lot of just under half an acre, plenty of space to chase a family dog around or host a lively BBQ. Adding to the curb appeal, a gently wrapping front porch provides the perfect backdrop for a pair of rocking chairs and a good book.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, including a luxurious primary suite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, plus a huge walk-in closet with built-in organization to keep things tidy. Architectural details such as tray and vaulted ceilings bring a touch of sophistication to the upper level. Convenience is also key, with two separate laundry areas: one on the first floor near the mudroom entry and another upstairs—no trudging up and down steps with basketfuls of towels and sheets here. “It’s little things like this that make a big difference day-to-day,” McCahill adds.

The finished walk-out lower level provides even more flexibility, with a half-bath, second kitchen, and direct access to a private patio. There’s enormous entertainment potential here: imagine whipping up party-ready dips in the kitchen and serving up a feast just in time for movie night or a big game.
“It could work beautifully as an au pair or in-law suite,” McCahill points out. “Or it could be a great space for a media room or a rec room—the possibilities are endless.”
The 2004 home has been meticulously maintained and enhanced with thoughtful upgrades over the past few years by its owners. The HVAC system and outside AC unit are new, as is the on-demand water heater and water filtration system. The basement has been fully finished, including the addition of a bathroom, and a concrete patio extension behind the house. LED lighting has been installed throughout, the interior has been freshly repainted, and updated fixtures have been added in the bathrooms. Even the heating system has been converted from oil to propane for improved efficiency and eco-friendliness. Commuters will appreciate ample parking space, both in the two-car garage and spacious driveway.
Beyond the home itself, Farmington offers a lifestyle that blends natural beauty with suburban convenience. Top-rated schools, medical campuses, and recreational options like golf courses and the scenic Farmington River are all nearby. Trader Joe’s, high-end shopping, and countless restaurants make errands and nights out effortless. “It’s part of the Farmington Valley, which is just a wonderful place to live,” says McCahill. “You’re near everything but still have that quiet neighborhood feel.”
While many homes in the area follow a traditional center-hall Colonial design, this property stands apart. “It’s not cookie-cutter,” McCahill emphasizes. “It’s got character, oversized windows, and architectural details everywhere. It’s ready for the next dreamer.”

With its open floor plan, modern updates, and exceptional location, this Colonial offers a rare combination: a home designed for today’s lifestyle that still feels timeless.
“It’s a lovely home—bright, open, and thoughtfully designed,” McCahill says. “Whoever moves in next will be able to start enjoying it from day one.”
