104 Old Farms Road

Tucked against a dramatic natural rock ledge on a private 1.12-acre lot in one of South Glastonbury's most established neighborhoods, this meticulously maintained 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial offers 3,521 sqft of finished living space plus 1,000+ sqft of unfinished basement, ready for a gym, workshop, or future buildout. A raised entry opens to gleaming hardwoods flowing through the formal dining room, study, and a private home office framed by French doors and bay window views. The chef's kitchen anchors the home with an oversized island in striking Verde Butterfly exotic granite, rich cherry cabinetry, and a sun-filled breakfast area open to the dining room. The family room is a showstopper: soaring cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace framed by a dramatic arched feature wall, with bay windows pulling the natural rock ledge in as living artwork year-round. Upstairs, all five bedrooms feature walk-in closets and share two full bathrooms, a spa-caliber bath with double vanity, glass shower, and heated towel warmers, plus a second full bath with shower-tub combo. A Lennox mini-split delivers zoned comfort upstairs. The lower level adds 500 sqft of finished media/game flex space. Brand-new roof, refurbished oil heat, central A/C, plumbing redone, water softener and filtration, generator-ready panel, powered outbuilding, 2-car garage. Top Glastonbury schools. 5 min to Rt 2, 15 min to Hartford. WHY THIS HOME STANDS OUT The Setting - The back of the property is bordered by a natural rock ledge that spans the full width of the lot, visible from the kitchen, family room, home office, primary bath, central bath, and an upstairs bedroom. It's a one-of-a-kind geological feature: dusted with snow in winter, mossy and green in summer, climbable for kids, and framed by mature vegetation that keeps neighboring homes out of sight. You don't find this kind of natural drama on a built lot anywhere else in town.
