Apartment Look

As beautiful as parts of Connecticut are, the state’s landscape will never be mistaken for the mountain ranges of northern New England. However, step onto the property at 2910 Mountain Rd. in Suffield and it’s easy to forget that. Built in 1981, the 6,178-square- foot house features a four-car garage, an in-law apartment, and a 28-by-40-foot barn with solar panels. The house has plenty of updated features, including new kitchen appliances, a new HVAC system, and new roofing. But it’s the nearly 30 acres of land in scenic West Suffield near the Massachusetts border that sets the property apart. Included in that acreage is a professionally landscaped yard with fruit trees, a perennial garden, an invisible fence, an outdoor patio and a gazebo. Situated on a hill overlooking Mountain Road , the front of the yard faces west and features scenic sunsets and views of distant hills. “It’s views of nature at its best,” says agent Sharon Dillon Rispoli of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices .

Location: London Price: £3.95 million (US$4.5 million) The exclusive cobblestone courtyard known as Turnchapel Mews sits between Clapham Common and Battersea Park in south London. In the mid-19 th  century, the now private and gated mews served as horse stables for the main houses on the surrounding streets.  A charming and quite large apartment there, the five-bedroom No. 8 Turnchapel Mews , occupies the top floor of four terraced mews houses and has a large outdoor terrace (most of the apartment is on one floor, but a small part is on a separate floor). In the 1980s, the acclaimed author Roald Dahl lived just downstairs, according to the listing agents. “From the outside it’s hard to envisage the space within,” said Jake Russell, a director at the London firm of Russell Simpson . “H owever, as soon as you step inside, it opens up into this wonderful, open environment.” “Often, mews houses have smaller proportions than a normal house, with lower ceilings and tighter rooms, bu...

April 16, 2010 | By LUCY CLARK It's easy to miss the entrance to the Forest Park Apartments in Farmington. That's because carefully landscaped arborvitae , maple trees, rhododendrons and other greenery screen the suburban enclave from the road. The development, with 58 two-bedroom townhouse and ranch- style apartments built around two manmade ponds with large fountains, offers stunning views . All of the 1,200-square- foot carpeted apartments have private decks, new maple kitchens and 1.5 bathrooms. Units are equipped with washer-dryer hookups and have central air conditioning . Thermal windows increase energy -efficiency. "It's very private; there is a very secure feeling. A lot of people are looking for that today," says Jean Munson, manager of the complex, where she has lived for 15 years. "It's very home-like." Her apartment doubles as the office for the apartments. Munson - affectionately known as the "mayor" of the Forest Park A...

Funny how your tastes change. There once was a time – back when Coolio actually was cool – when I desperately wanted to live in a town with an Applebee’s . I now reside in a metro area with five, and I’m more concerned that a hole-in-the-wall joint like Silla Cafe is closing. The Broad Street eatery , whose teriyaki chicken has been beloved by downtown denizens for more than two decades, is calling it quits next month. Owned and operated by Felton and Tae Mitchell , the literal “mom-and-pop” restaurant serves its last dish at 855 Broad St. on Sept. 14. “We had fun, but we’re ready to retire now,” Tae said. “We’ve been talking about retiring for a couple years now.” She said that decision to retire was hastened, however, by a steep increase in their rent. “It’s almost double,” she said in a phone interview. Last year the building was purchased by Rafik “Rafi” Bassali , a young real estate investor who is becoming somewhat of a downtown property mogul . The owner of The Swank Company...
