🏡 Welcome to 8 Dunham Ln, Farmington, CT: Where Comfort Meets Elegance ($1.295M) 🍏

Let’s clarify, folks: 8 Dunham Ln is not your average home. This beauty, nestled on 2.52 acres of prime Farmington real estate, delivers all the grandeur you could hope for—and then some. Offering four spacious bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a sprawling 5,942 sq. ft. of living space, it’s the kind of place where you almost expect to run into the cast of Downton Abbey… but with better Wi-Fi and no butlers to tip.

First Impressions Matter: Exterior Elegance ✨

At first glance, 8 Dunham Ln exudes curb appeal that could charm even the most cynical real estate enthusiasts. The expansive stone driveway leads you to a grand entrance flanked by lush greenery and carefully maintained shrubs. And that stone façade? Oh, honey, it’s not just decorative—it’s a statement. This house doesn’t scream for attention; it whispers it in the most dignified, stone-clad way possible. 🌳🏡

Look closely, and you’ll notice the carefully landscaped pathways that wind their way through the property, giving you the perfect excuse to throw on some designer wellies and pretend you’re hosting your own home and garden show.

Inside the Home: A Cozy Blend of Classic and Contemporary 🌟

Step into the heart of this architectural marvel, and you’re immediately greeted by light. The spacious rooms are accented with high ceilings and custom-built millwork that serves to both divide and highlight each space. Whether it’s the cozy living room with coffered ceilings and built-in bookshelves (perfect for your vintage book collection, or you know, those unread novels you bought for aesthetic), or the sprawling family room complete with an elegant fireplace—this house screams comfort and luxury. 🛋️🔥

Bedrooms to Dream In: Zebra Stools and a Fireplace? Say Less 🛏️

Upstairs, the primary suite is what bougie dreams are made of. The white-paneled bedroom, complete with an ornate fireplace, gives off major cozy but make it chic vibes. Two zebra-print stools sit at the foot of a cloud-like bed, just waiting for you to toss your designer bags after a long day of not needing to leave your glorious house. Flanking the bed are built-in shelves to house your finest curios and—let’s face it—expensive scented candles. 🌿

The ensuite bathroom feels like it belongs in a spa, with dual walk-in closets big enough to get lost in, a stall shower, and a whirlpool tub. Just imagine unwinding here after a long day of doing whatever you do in a house like this.

Living Spaces: Every Room Is a Statement Piece 🖼️

Each common space in 8 Dunham Ln feels like it was designed to encourage a different type of lounging. The family room is anchored by a grand fireplace, flanked by built-in shelving, perfect for cozy nights binge-watching Netflix or pretending to read that coffee table book on French architecture.

Want a more formal setting? The dining room, with its high ceilings and elegant fixtures, screams “dinner party” while politely whispering, “Butler service optional.” 🍷

Outdoor Spaces: Your Private Slice of Nature 🌿

Now, the exterior is where this place truly shines (and that’s saying something). The expansive stone patio overlooks a pristine lawn, bordered by a lush forest backdrop. Ideal for your weekend soccer games, family barbecues, or simply staring into the distance contemplating your fabulous life choices. 🏞️

Need to stretch your legs a bit? You’ve got easy access to the Blue Trail, one of Connecticut’s premier hiking routes. Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the patio, taking in the sights and sounds of nature… or sipping an evening martini while laughing at your friend who’s “roughing it” in the city. 🍸

The Price and the (Not-So-Fun) Numbers 💸

You knew this part was coming. Listed at a tidy $1.295M (just $218/sq. ft.), the price tag might make your eyes water—but don’t worry, it’s just your allergies acting up from all the fresh air you’ll be getting here. The Zestimate® for this gem sits at $1.269M, and the annual property taxes are a cool $18,061 (or what some might call “the cost of living in literal paradise”).

And the home’s price history? Well, it’s been a journey. Originally listed at $1.489M earlier this year, it took a casual dip in price, settling at its current offer—making this a ripe opportunity for savvy buyers.
