About This Home

Welcome to 98 Grennan – A rare opportunity to rent a move-in ready designer’s home in the heart of West Hartford Center. The location does not get any better than this. You are a five- minute stroll to having the Center and Blue Back Square as your playground. Enjoy a date night walking to the center for drink and dinner and not have to worry about driving or paying for parking! Enjoy meeting up at Fleet Feet for a great run around the center or swimming at Fern Park or attending a specialty yoga/cycling gym, all of this without having to get into a car. The popular center library is wonderful for kid’s programs or studying. In the summer, you will feel like you are on vacation listening to live music at the outdoor stage in the heart of BBS. There is never a boring moment two blocks away and it keeps getting better with more highly renowned chefs, a newer stadium seating movie theater, and of course, the endless ice cream options. This is truly a lifestyle decision that not many locations provide. The location is not the only highlight here - You won’t believe the inside of this designer’s home! Starting with the stately brick front arch, the curb appeal is immediately felt looking at this classic 1936 colonial. The arches and many charming features are repeated inside. There is a nice foyer that opens to a large living room where an inviting wood fireplace is flanked by floor-to-ceiling built-ins. The red oak hardwood floors run throughout the house and take you into the ‘homerun’ kitchen! There are not enough pictures to show off this custom kitchen. It has all the design elements that are in demand like an open layout and a large peninsula to prep, hang-out, or check emails. The farmer’s sink, wavy glass pendant lights, high-end stainless-steel appliances, and a specialty range hood are all so rare for a rental. It’s really unique to have a newly built luxury kitchen available in the rental market. Not many options were left out planning this space. The dimmable recessed lights and the wine refrigerator and the shining marble back splash, all set a great vibe and feel. The back of the house is now all open with this renovation. There is a half bath, as well as the dining room, which all share this open floor plan with the kitchen. There is a natural flow to the sun-drenched sunroom off the dining area. Looking out the kitchen window, the backyard seems to stretch forever with a cleared and fenced-in yard. The deck offers outdoor entertaining space while being connected to the sunroom and kitchen. This oversized yard is a such a great surprise especially with the typical small lots in the center. Upstairs is four good size bedrooms and a full bath. The master bedroom has three windows and is naturally bright and can fit a king size bed. The house has ‘pottery barn’ like neutral colors throughout. The extra/fourth bedroom leads to a flexible layout option with a possible second floor office that is away from it all. The basement is finished and makes a perfect oversized playroom or man cave. You will find the laundry (washer and dryer included) in the lower level with a handy "slop" sink. The house has affordable natural gas heat and the comfort of radiators. There is some storage in the basement in the unfinished areas. Please keep in mind there is a strict application process that is focused heavily on credit. A minimum 675 credit score is required.
