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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocation is everything,\u201d says listing agent Cathy McCahill. \u201cYou\u2019re 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\u2019s one of the most desirable areas in Farmington,\u201d said Cathy McCahill of William Pitt Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/a>. She is handling the sale alongside realtor Svetlana Chklonik.<\/p>\n

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. \u201cIt\u2019s a sunny home\u2014a happy home,\u201d McCahill notes. \u201cThe layout has a dramatic look, but it\u2019s also warm and inviting.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s the picture of elegant yet approachable living, one that you can dress up and then unwind in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe open concept is one of my favorite things about this house,\u201d says McCahill. \u201cIt\u2019s designed for a busy lifestyle, where you can cook, entertain, and be part of everything happening in the great room.\u201d And, while the home\u2019s main living level boasts easy flow, it still prioritizes distinct spaces that feel intimate instead of cavernous.<\/p>\n

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\u2014including a new refrigerator\u2014make it a chef\u2019s dream. The Trex deck just outside invites indoor-outdoor living, perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and late-summer cookouts. Yes, there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2014no trudging up and down steps with basketfuls of towels and sheets\u00a0 here. \u201cIt\u2019s little things like this that make a big difference day-to-day,\u201d McCahill adds.<\/p>\n

The finished walk-out lower level provides even more flexibility, with a half-bath, second kitchen, and direct access to a private patio. There\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could work beautifully as an au pair or in-law suite,\u201d McCahill points out. \u201cOr it could be a great space for a media room or a rec room\u2014the possibilities are endless.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s, high-end shopping, and countless restaurants make errands and nights out effortless. \u201cIt\u2019s part of the Farmington Valley, which is just a wonderful place to live,\u201d says McCahill. \u201cYou\u2019re near everything but still have that quiet neighborhood feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many homes in the area follow a traditional center-hall Colonial design, this property stands apart. \u201cIt\u2019s not cookie-cutter,\u201d McCahill emphasizes. \u201cIt\u2019s got character, oversized windows, and architectural details everywhere. It\u2019s ready for the next dreamer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lovely home\u2014bright, open, and thoughtfully designed,\u201d McCahill says. \u201cWhoever moves in next will be able to start enjoying it from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n
