Local Couple Finally Finds Farmington Condo That Can Contain Their Impeccable Taste and Expanding Collection of Shiny Things
FARMINGTON, CT—In a story that might make even your pristine Pinterest boards look like a chaotic mess, a near-mythical townhouse at 127 Tunxis Village has materialized on the market, sending shockwaves through the gated community and inspiring widespread panic among interior design enthusiasts.
Priced at a cool $475,000 (just $172 per square foot, if you’re into math), this two-bedroom, three-bathroom brick masterpiece comes pre-loaded with all the aspirational amenities that make ordinary homes look like glorified shoeboxes. Don’t worry; your dreams of achieving peak domestic bliss no longer need to be put on hold. With an estimated monthly mortgage of $3,891 (HOA fees and your favorite overpriced lattes not included), it’s just a matter of time before you’re sipping your single-origin, organic, shade-grown coffee in front of the gas fireplace.
Let’s Break Down the Numbers, Shall We?
In a tale that sounds straight out of a Financial Fairy Tale, this unit last exchanged hands for $280,000 in 2018, which was already a princely sum for a property that’s a mansion by Farmington standards. Fast forward to today, and the price has rocketed by a staggering 69.6%. But let’s be honest—every penny of that increase is worth it when you consider the impeccable remodeling, the new roof (installed in mid-2024, just in time for the town’s annual roof inspection parade), and a basement so meticulously finished that it’s practically begging to be featured in a lifestyle magazine.
The $5,883 in annual property taxes are the price one must pay for living in a place that’s probably more organized than your life will ever be. Let’s face it: that’s a small price to pay for living in a home where even the den can be converted into a third bedroom, just in case you’ve finally decided to embrace parenthood—or, more likely, your extensive collection of vintage vinyl needs its room.
What Makes This Condo So Extra?
Situated in the illustrious Tunxis Village, this townhouse isn’t just a place to hang your hat; it’s a haven where hardwood floors gleam with the kind of polish that only the most obsessive-compulsive cleaner could love. The kitchen is straight out of a gourmet chef’s fever dream, boasting granite countertops, a spacious island for all your elaborate meal-prep needs, and a window seat perfect for pondering life’s big questions—like whether you should start an herb garden or buy more scented candles.
The upper floor houses a master bedroom that’s practically dripping in natural light, thanks to a bathroom that’s been remodeled to resemble the spa you constantly tell yourself you’ll visit but never do. The second bedroom also comes with its own remodeled bathroom, just in case you’re in the mood to bathe in luxury while your guests admire your impeccable taste from the guest room.
Let’s not forget the all-new washer and dryer set, thoughtfully placed on the second floor for maximum convenience. After all, why should you walk downstairs when you can live in a world where dirty laundry is practically non-existent?
Tunxis Village: Not Just a Gated Community, But a Cult of Perfection
As you bask in the glow of your immaculately furnished living room, you’ll also have access to a slew of community amenities that will have you wondering if you’ve accidentally wandered into a five-star resort. Tennis and basketball courts? Check. Dog parks for your pampered pooch? Of course. A large in-ground heated pool that practically screams, “I’m better than your sad backyard inflatable”? You bet.
And just in case you were worried that all this perfection might attract some undesirables, fear not—there’s a guard house to keep out the riffraff, ensuring that only those worthy of your impeccable lawn care skills make it through the gates.
