Step aside, HGTV. Farmington has a new star on the market that’s about to make your Pinterest board feel inadequate. Nestled on a charming cul-de-sac at 12 Village View Ln, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom colonial is the suburban dream you didn’t know you had. And for the bargain price of $649,000, you might have enough left over for that coffee table book on New England foliage that you’ve been eyeing.
Built-in 1990, this 3,671 square foot single-family residence is the kind of home that whispers, “I’m doing well,” without shouting it from the rooftop. With an asphalt roof in tip-top shape, you might consider climbing up there to let the world know you’ve made it. But who needs to broadcast when you can invite friends over to gawk at your .33-acre corner lot, the pride of the Coppermine Village subdivision?
As you step inside, be prepared for hardwood floors that gleam like they’ve been polished by the souls of a thousand dancing angels. The open floor plan seamlessly connects your family and living rooms, offering the perfect setup for hosting everything from PTA strategy sessions to game nights ending in passive-aggressive Monopoly accusations. The family room, complete with a cozy fireplace and recessed lighting, practically begs you to hunker down with a good book—or at least pretend you read something other than your social media feed.
Hungry? The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, so shiny you might even see your reflection in them—if you’re not too busy admiring the breakfast bar or the thoughtfully remodeled eating space. And don’t worry about where to stash that Costco-sized haul; this kitchen comes with a pantry as deep as your love for bulk savings.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a sanctuary from the chaos of daily life, complete with a hydro-tub for soaking away the stress of your three Zoom meetings and two school pick-ups. With three additional bedrooms, everyone in the family can claim a space as their own—or you can finally fulfill your dream of an upstairs cat sanctuary. The options are endless!
You can venture downstairs to the finished walkout basement, where an additional 1,004 square feet of flex space awaits your imagination. Home office? Gym? Secret lair? We won’t judge. With laminate flooring that practically screams “low maintenance,” you’ll have plenty of time to decide.
Stepping outside, the serene backyard abuts a wooded area, offering privacy as rare as a polite debate on Facebook. The deck provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining or just sipping your morning coffee as you bask in the smug satisfaction of knowing you live in historic Farmington, a town renowned for its excellent schools and rich cultural heritage.
Let’s not forget the practical details. This home is equipped with underground utilities, central air, and an attached two-car garage, meaning you’ll be the envy of all your friends still dealing with New England’s unpredictable weather. And for those of you keeping an eye on the bottom line, the monthly HOA fee is just $110—a small price for someone else to handle snow removal and road maintenance.
Speaking of costs, the annual tax bill comes in at a modest $9,335. Sure, it might sting a little, but remember, it’s all part of living the dream in Farmington. Plus, you can rest easy knowing that the tax assessment has been rock solid, ensuring your investment remains as secure as your 401(k—or at least more secure than your teenage son’s Snapchat account.
So, what are you waiting for? Schedule your private tour today, and get ready to experience the Farmington lifestyle you’ve yearned for. Just make sure to act fast—homes like this don’t stay on the market long, especially in a neighborhood where the biggest complaint is that the local birds chirp too loudly in the morning.
