325 Scott Swamp Road, Scott's SwampFarmington, CT 06032Sale Price: $394,000

Located 300 feet off of Scott Swamp Road, this five-bedroom Cape offers a private setting not easily found in Farmington. Yet it is within minutes of shops, restaurants, and other service establishments. Many major recent improvements (see sheet). Entering the home from a wraparound deck, your first surprise is the amazing wood beam and plank ceilings that run throughout the main floor. The country kitchen has a double oven, tile floor and island with dishwasher. This leads to a huge, front-to-back living room (28 x 13) which includes a skylighted dining area and terrazzo tile. The main floor also features the primary bedroom with walk-in closet and a nearby full bath. A second small bedroom is now used as an office. The upper level has lots of storage, two generous bedrooms with new carpets and a hallway bathroom with stall shower. There is also a sitting room that could be an office. The basement boasts a large room that could be used as a bedroom or a rec room plus a full bath with walk-in shower. Finally, there is a huge professional workshop with drill press, band saw, bench grinder and access to the garage. Outside you'll find a unique, stamped concrete driveway pad with cobblestone design leading to the garage. The large backyard has a fenced garden area, plastic resin shed with lawn equipment, additional canvas garage and stone walls. Final surprise: a wood stove/water heater and other energy-efficient additions can keep the electric bill to less than $40/mo!
