About the property

Spacious 4-Bed Colonial on a Rare 0.39-Acre Corner Lot

A corner position and nearly half an acre set the tone for this well-maintained colonial in Gledhill Estates. From the curb you’ll notice the generous, level lot—the extra exposure that a corner parcel delivers translates into broad front and side yards and real potential for outdoor living or gardens. Inside, original architectural proportions meet thoughtful updates: hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas and an updated kitchen anchors family gatherings.

Living spaces extend easily. The formal living room leads to a comfortable dining room that can host holidays and weeknight dinners alike; a family room and finished lower level—complete with a fireplace—add generous, flexible square footage for a media room, play area, or home office. Four bedrooms across two levels provide space for families or roommates, while three full bathrooms keep morning routines moving smoothly.

Practical systems are in place: central air for summer comfort, oil heat for consistent winter warmth, an attached two-car garage, and a broad driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The finished basement transforms underused square footage into purposeful living area, and the home’s footprint at 2,883 SF gives buyers real room to spread out without sacrificing yard space.

Gledhill Estates delivers a lifestyle as strong as the house. You’re 0.7 miles from Rockledge Golf Club, 1.5 miles from Elizabeth Park’s trails and seasonal plantings, and about a mile from the University of Hartford campus. Families will appreciate proximity to Norfeldt Elementary, King Philip Middle, and Hall High School. With thoughtful updates already completed and an assessed value well below the market estimate, this property is positioned for near-term move-in readiness and long-term appreciation in a blue-chip West Hartford neighborhood.

Editorial market perspective

West Hartford remains tilted toward sellers: low inventory (approximately 2.5 months of supply) and steady buyer demand have produced a market where homes typically attract multiple offers and sell within weeks. Area median sale price is roughly $598,000 with year-over-year appreciation near 6% and five-year gains around 25%. Single-family homes in desirable pockets like Gledhill Estates outperform broader averages thanks to top-rated public schools and close-in recreational assets. Recent comparable sales within a half-mile place similarly updated colonials in the $600K–$650K band, supporting a valuation midpoint near $625,000 for this property. Average days on market in the town is about 37 days, but inventory constraints mean well-priced, updated homes move faster. For buyers, that raises the importance of pre-approval and decisive offers; for sellers, current conditions reward strategic pricing and minimal time on market. Investors will note rental demand strong in this submarket—estimated monthly rent around $3,500 yields a gross return near 6.7%—but also should factor in local taxes and the cost to update 1960s-era systems during due diligence.
