Historic Charm Meets Modern Luxury: A Farmington Gem Steps from Miss Porter’s School
FARMINGTON, CT — In the picturesque heart of Farmington Village, a home with history, elegance, and proximity to one of the most prestigious institutions in the country awaits its next fortunate owner. 5 Church Street, a stunning 4-bedroom, 6-bathroom Colonial, is on the market for $1,125,000—a price that feels like a steal when you consider its endless list of amenities and its stone’s throw distance from the world-renowned Miss Porter’s School.
Miss Porter’s School: A Neighbor Like No Other
First, let’s talk about Miss Porter’s School because, let’s be honest, its proximity to this property is too extraordinary to ignore. The school, which has molded the minds of some of the world’s most notable figures—including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Gloria Vanderbilt (yes, Anderson Cooper’s mother)—is practically in your backyard. This home is so close to Miss Porter’s that you might wonder why the school hasn’t snapped it up as a cozy guest house for visiting dignitaries or future first ladies.
Location, Location, Location: Farmington Village at Its Best
Situated on 0.82 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, 5 Church Street offers the quintessential New England lifestyle. This home is not just a piece of real estate; it’s a gateway to the serene, community-focused environment that Farmington Village is known for. The property is a short stroll from the Public Library and Noah Wallace Elementary School, making it ideal for families looking to immerse themselves in the local culture and history.
A Harmonious Blend of Past and Present
Initially built in 1880, this home seamlessly marries historical charm with modern conveniences. The original architectural details—hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, and multiple fireplaces—testify to the home’s storied past. Meanwhile, the first-floor renovations bring the space up to date, offering an open-concept family room perfect for intimate family moments and grand social gatherings. The remodeled kitchen, outfitted with mahogany counters and limestone floors, is a chef’s dream, complete with top-of-the-line appliances that make cooking a luxury.
The first-floor primary suite is an oasis within an oasis, featuring “his and her” bathrooms, a spacious dressing area, walk-in closets, and even a dedicated home office. The suite’s thoughtful design ensures that it meets the needs of modern homeowners while retaining the elegance of a bygone era.
Second-Floor Splendor
Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with its ensuite bathroom. The convenience of a dedicated laundry room on this floor and access to a large attic with ample storage and finishing potential make this home as practical as it is.
