Luxurious Devonwood Colonial Hits the Market: Your Wallet Will Be Feeling Extra Fancy
By Jack Beckett, The Farmington Mercury
Farmington, CT – Hold onto your checkbooks, Farmington residents, because 7 Wentworth Park has just hit the market, and it’s here to make you wonder why you’re still settling for anything less. Listed at a modest $1,575,000, this 6,784 square foot colonial mansion in the upscale Devonwood community is the epitome of “I’ve made it” – or at least, “I think I have, but my bank account might disagree.”
Built-in 1997, this palatial 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom home is more than just a place to hang your hat; it reminds your friends that you’re doing just fine; thank you very much. The home sits on a meticulously manicured 0.60-acre lot, which, let’s be honest, is about the size of a postage stamp in the grand scheme of estate living, but who needs more land when you have this much house?
A Tour Through Grandeur (and More Grandeur)
As you approach via the circular drive – because anything less would be uncivilized – you’re greeted by the curb appeal that would make an HGTV host weep with joy. Professional landscaping? Check. Bluestone patio and heated in-ground pool? Double check. If you don’t have friends, this house will get you some.
Inside, the light-filled entrance foyer practically begs you to Instagram it. To your left, the formal living room awaits with 9-foot-plus ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized windows that let you bask in your own affluence. The dining room, equally grand, boasts a second wood-burning fireplace, ideal for dinner parties where you casually mention your latest stock market triumphs.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the chef’s kitchen, equipped with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, custom-refinished cabinetry, and granite countertops. The center island, perfect for awkward small talk with your caterer, features seating so your guests can watch you pretend to know how to cook. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast area – complete with a French marble fireplace and French doors – offers views of the bluestone patio, ideal for when you need a reminder of how fabulous your life is.
The family room, featuring a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, is the kind of cozy you can only get from spending way too much on coffered ceilings. Nearby, a study with built-in bookcases serves as a quiet retreat, whether you’re working from home or just pretending to.
The Upstairs, Where the Magic Happens
Upstairs, the primary suite is practically a house within a house. The spacious bedroom features high ceilings, a dressing room, a walk-in closet, and a remodeled spa bathroom that’s likely nicer than most. The soaking tub and walk-in shower scream luxury, while the double vanity ensures you never have to share sink space – because personal space is essential when living in 6,784 square feet.
The other four bedrooms, all generously sized and sporting high ceilings, offer plenty of space for family, guests, or just a really impressive pillow collection. Naturally, the three additional bathrooms are updated because who can live with outdated fixtures?
A Basement, A Pool, and a Whole Lot of Potential
The partially finished basement offers heated and cooled space for whatever hobbies one might acquire living in such a home. There’s also a three-car garage, so your fleet of luxury vehicles will feel right at home.
Outside, the heated in-ground pool is waiting to host Farmington’s most exclusive summer soirĂ©es. With brand-new mechanicals, including a filter pump, heater, and control system, you can splash around knowing that everything is as up-to-date as your tax returns.
And Speaking of Taxes…
Now, about those property taxes. At an assessed value of $800,940, this home carries an annual tax bill of $20,384. For those keeping track, that’s a mere $1,698 a month just to keep the town happy. But hey, what’s a couple grand when you’re living the dream, right?
And let’s not forget the $133/month HOA fee, ensuring that your investment remains as pristine as your financial planner’s nightmares.
Closing Thoughts (and Bank Accounts)
In summary, 7 Wentworth Park isn’t just a house; it’s a statement. It’s a declaration that you’ve arrived, that you’ve conquered the world (or at least your mortgage). But don’t take our word for it – schedule a private tour and see for yourself why this home is worth every penny. And if you’re feeling a bit light in the wallet, remember: dreams are priceless. But unfortunately, this house isn’t.
