Fox Den neighborhood * Hop Brook setting * Private 0.92-acre lot * 3-car garage * Refinished hardwoods * 3 wood-burning fireplaces *Generator * Public water * Set in the sought-after Fox Den neighborhood, this striking 4-bedroom Colonial offers a rare combination of character, craftsmanship, and a beautiful natural setting. Lovingly maintained by the same owners since 1986, 10 Shady Ln is tucked on a private lot where a shallow stretch of Hop Brook winds through the backyard. Two Adirondack chairs sit beside the brook, creating a peaceful spot to listen to the water, watch for fish, and enjoy this natural feature. Inside, newly refinished hardwood floors complement gorgeous custom woodwork throughout, while the spacious living room and large family room each feature a wood-burning fireplace. The family room, located just off the kitchen, showcases beautiful beams and built-ins, overlooks both the front and backyard, and opens to a large rear deck. The neutral, partially updated kitchen connects naturally to the dining room and family room, while a first-floor half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers his-and-her closets and a private full bath, joined by three additional bedrooms and another full bath. All three chimneys were recently professionally cleaned and substantially updated. This distinctive property pairs classic Colonial architecture and exceptional woodwork with a private brookside setting in one of West Simsbury's established neighborhoods.
