Welcome to 38 Kenyon Street, Floor #1. This is a historic property located on a revered street in the popular West End of Hartford. Kenyon Street is lined with one-of-a-kind Victorian homes that dazzle with unique color schemes and ornate architectural details. The street is beloved and even has its own website.

38-40 Kenyon is one of the largest multi-family homes in the area and one of only three multi-families on the street. It is a nationally recognized historic property and is unlike anything you have seen in a multi-family apartment for both size and charm. In the best ways, it is a step back in time and feels like this apartment was built for an important person. Everything inside has been preserved including all the natural oversized wood trim, canvas ceilings, brass light fixtures and hardware, marble fireplace, and solid wood doors, just to name a few.

The apartment has six sizable rooms and two full bathrooms. It’s very rare for a multi-family to have two full bathrooms. The large rooms allow for a flexible layout although it fits best as a two-bedroom with a full-size dining room, living room and either an office or a den. That being, we recently installed French doors that lock to the office, making this a third bedroom option.

The kitchen is a real highlight of the property as it has recently been updated with stainless steel appliances and an island that has both the sink and dishwasher, and space for two/three bar stools. The newer recessed paneled wood cabinets finish this updated kitchen, yet it tastefully fits into the historic charm of the rest of the apartment.

The apartment will undoubtedly make you feel like you are living in era of Mark Twain (with modern conveniences). The original red oak hardwood floors run throughout the apartment. The marble fireplace in the center of the house is a great spot. The front office/3rd bedroom and one of the other bedrooms has the unique hexagon bump out.

The ceilings soar here, and every room has multiple large double hung windows that light up the beautiful woodwork. There are over 30+ windows. There is a classic and historic color scheme throughout the apartment.

One of the best parts of the property is the open front Victorian porch that looks onto one of the most beautiful Victorian houses in Hartford directly across the street. You are also at the doorstep of Tangiers, our office's favorite place for falafels and gyros!

Elizabeth Park is couple of blocks away and wonderful for their season long activities like the free summer concert series. UConn law school is 4 blocks away. West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square is 3.5 miles away. The highway is less than 3 minutes away. Easy commute into Hartford.

The apartment has natural gas heat and hot water. The tenant is responsible for heat and electric. Owner pays for water, snow removal and landscaping. There is a strict application process that focuses heavily on credit. There is also a background check, employment, and income verification. One-month security with strong application. Pets considered on case-by-case basis. One garage spot and possibly two other assigned off-street parking spots. Washer and dryer is in the unit and included!
