A stunning custom-built Colonial home at 4 Romano Court in Farmington seamlessly blends classic architectural design with contemporary updates, creating an elegant yet comfortable living space. Located in one of Farmington's most sought-after neighborhoods, the property offers convenient access to top-rated schools, UConn Health, and Westfarms Mall, making it an ideal choice for families seeking both tranquility and convenience.
"Location is everything," says listing agent Cathy McCahill of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty, who is handling the sale alongside realtor Svetlana Chklonik. "You're close to UConn Health, the mall is practically in your backyard, and you have an incredible mix of restaurants, shops, and recreational amenities right nearby. It's one of the most desirable areas in Farmington."
Upon entering the home, visitors are greeted by a dramatic two-story foyer featuring a striking Palladian window that bathes the space in natural light. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. "It's a sunny home—a happy home," McCahill notes. "The layout has a dramatic look, but it's also warm and inviting."
The main floor centers around a spacious great room with soaring vaulted ceilings and oversized Anderson windows. A formal dining room connects to a bright living room that features a masonry fireplace as its focal point, creating perfect spaces for both relaxation and entertainment. "The open concept is one of my favorite things about this house," says McCahill. "It's designed for a busy lifestyle, where you can cook, entertain, and be part of everything happening in the great room." Despite the open flow, the home maintains distinct spaces that feel intimate rather than cavernous.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the large, light-filled kitchen that opens seamlessly to both the great room and back deck. Granite countertops, a center island, and modern appliances—including a new refrigerator—make it a chef's dream. The adjacent Trex deck invites indoor-outdoor living, perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and late-summer cookouts. The home sits on just under half an acre, providing plenty of space for family activities and outdoor entertaining.
Adding to the home's curb appeal, a gently wrapping front porch provides the perfect setting for rocking chairs and quiet moments. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, including a luxurious primary suite with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a huge walk-in closet with built-in organization systems. Architectural details such as tray and vaulted ceilings bring sophistication to the upper level.
A standout convenience feature is the home's two separate laundry areas: one on the first floor near the mudroom entry and another upstairs, eliminating the need to carry laundry up and down stairs. "It's little things like this that make a big difference day-to-day," McCahill adds.
The finished walk-out lower level provides additional flexibility with a half-bath, second kitchen, and direct access to a private patio. "It could work beautifully as an au pair or in-law suite," McCahill points out. "Or it could be a great space for a media room or a rec room—the possibilities are endless." This level offers enormous entertainment potential, with the ability to prepare refreshments and serve guests for movie nights or game viewing parties.
Built in 2004, the home has been meticulously maintained and enhanced with thoughtful upgrades over recent years. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system and outside AC unit, an on-demand water heater, and a water filtration system. The basement has been fully finished with the addition of a bathroom, and a concrete patio extension has been added behind the house. LED lighting has been installed throughout, the interior has been freshly repainted, and updated fixtures have been added in the bathrooms. The heating system has even been converted from oil to propane for improved efficiency and environmental friendliness.
Commuters will appreciate the ample parking options, including a two-car garage and spacious driveway. Beyond the home itself, Farmington offers a lifestyle that combines natural beauty with suburban convenience. Top-rated schools, medical campuses, and recreational options like golf courses and the scenic Farmington River are all within easy reach. Shopping at Trader Joe's, high-end retail options, and countless dining establishments make daily errands and entertainment effortless.
"It's part of the Farmington Valley, which is just a wonderful place to live," says McCahill. "You're near everything but still have that quiet neighborhood feel." Unlike many traditional center-hall Colonial designs common in the area, this property stands apart with its unique character. "It's not cookie-cutter," McCahill emphasizes. "It's got character, oversized windows, and architectural details everywhere. It's ready for the next dreamer."
With its open floor plan, modern updates, and exceptional location, this Colonial offers a rare combination of contemporary lifestyle design while maintaining timeless appeal. "It's a lovely home—bright, open, and thoughtfully designed," McCahill says. "Whoever moves in next will be able to start enjoying it from day one." The property is priced at $800,000 and features 8 rooms total, including 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, spanning 3,921 square feet on a 0.46-acre lot.
