We are renting our cozy, colorful 3-bedroom house in central Connecticut for the semester. This home is ideal for a family - we are located in a walkable school neighborhood (elementary school and huge playground are 2 blocks away) with a big beautiful backyard for kids to play, outdoor patio, and Connecticut native pollinator plants. Child-friendly living room with many toys and books, full bathroom upstairs and half bath downstairs, three bedrooms upstairs. Bedrooms: 1) Primary bedroom with king-size bed and 2 closets; 2) Second bedroom with sofabed that converts to king-size bed, also with standing desk (we use this room as an office and spare guestroom); 3) Children's bedroom with twin-size bunk beds. The house was originally built in 1952, with newly updated appliances (W/D upstairs, glass-top electric stove, etc.). Our town, West Hartford, has consistently been named "One of the top Northeast USA cities to live," with "classic New England charm, beautiful neighborhoods, strong schools, local businesses that people actually support, and enough restaurants and shopping to keep life interesting." https://i95rock.com/west-hartford-lifestyle-benefits/?utm_source=tsmclip&utm_medium=referral The house is within 30min of Wesleyan, UConn, Trinity, UHart, and 45-60min from Yale, Mt. Holyoke, and Amherst-area universities. We love the proximity to NYC and Boston for weekend trips (90min equidistant from each city center). The house is 19min from Hartford's Bradley International Airport.

Comments: Happy to negotiate based on length of stay, personal needs, and yard/garden care.
Comments: We have a 5 and 2 year old, so the house is well set up for young kids and babies (crib, baby gates, outlet covers, etc.). If this does not apply to you, let us know and we can place baby items in storage
We have a beautiful backyard with space for kids to play, and many Connecticut native pollinator plants. We would love help with yard maintenance (raking twigs, leaves, weeding, pruning, etc). We can arrange lawnmowing services.
