The Connecticut town offers plenty of well-established neighborhoods, but Coppermine Village stands out for how intentionally it was designed.
The planned community in Farmington features walkable streets, shared open areas, and a setting that feels both private and connected. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the four-bedroom colonial at 19 Village View Lane provides the kind of space and layout that works just as well for daily routines as it does for gathering.
“True four-bedroom homes are rare in this community, and what makes this one special is that all four bedrooms are genuinely spacious,” says Aleksandra O’Connor of William Raveis Real Estate. “The primary suite, in particular, is oversized and features multiple walk-in closets, which is something buyers are always looking for.”
The home’s layout is immediately appealing. The first floor unfolds with intention, offering defined living and dining rooms alongside an eat-in kitchen that serves as a natural hub for daily life. A large family room anchors the space, with cathedral ceilings, oversized windows, and a working fireplace ensconced in exposed brick that brings warmth and character year-round. Hardwood floors run throughout, reinforcing the home’s classic colonial style while allowing light to move easily from room to room.
“Natural light is one of the things people notice right away,” O’Connor says. “There are windows everywhere, and the family room especially feels bright and open. It’s a space where people really gather.”
A first-floor laundry room adds convenience on the main level, while sliding doors open to a deck overlooking the backyard, offering an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The yard itself is unfenced — the property sits on about a third of an acre — but it blends seamlessly into the surrounding greenery and common land, creating a sense of openness rather than enclosure.
Upstairs, the sense of scale continues, the home does boast just under 3,000 square feet after all. In addition to the expansive primary suite and its private bath, three additional bedrooms are notably larger than what buyers often see in the area, all served by a second full bath. “Every bedroom here works,” O’Connor notes. “Whether it’s for family, guests, or home offices, there’s flexibility without compromise.”
Perhaps one of the home’s most compelling features lies below. The basement area is expansive and offers unusually tall ceilings, making it a prime candidate for finishing. “The basement is huge,” O’Connor says. “You could easily create a home gym, playroom, or home theater and still have plenty of room for storage. It’s an incredible opportunity to expand the living area without changing the footprint of the home.”
Mechanical updates add peace of mind, with newer appliances, an updated heating system, and a newer water heater already in place. A two-car garage rounds out the practical features, ensuring the home is as functional as it is inviting.
Beyond the walls of the house itself, Coppermine Village plays a starring role in the property’s appeal. Set across approximately 68 acres, the community’s 77 residences are designed to offer both privacy and connection. Residents own their individual homes and enjoy private backyards, while also benefiting from more than 30 acres of common areas maintained by the association.
“The association here is really wonderful,” O’Connor explains. “There are two ponds on the property, walking paths throughout, and these small, quiet streets where neighbors truly know one another. It feels like a peaceful village.”
Cul-de-sac living enhances that sense of calm, with minimal traffic and a shared understanding among residents that this is a place to slow down. “It’s the kind of neighborhood where people look out for each other,” she adds. “There’s a real sense of community.”
Farmington itself provides a fitting backdrop. Once considered a sleepy town, it has retained much of its open land and pastoral charm, particularly in areas like this one, while evolving to meet modern needs. Working farms still dot the landscape nearby, offering seasonal stands and a reminder of the town’s agricultural roots. At the same time, the home sits just minutes from Unionville and a variety of everyday conveniences.
“Unionville is right down the road and has a great mix of local shops and dining,” says O’Connor. “You’re close to everything, but you don’t feel like you’re in the middle of it all.”
Farmington’s investment in its future is also evident, with a brand-new, state-of-the-art high school recently completed, adding to the town’s desirability for families and long-term residents alike. Easy access to major routes makes commuting straightforward, whether heading into Hartford or exploring more of central Connecticut.
What ultimately sets this home apart is the way all of these elements come together. It offers space without excess, community without crowding, and potential without pressure. The layout works today, while the basement and flexible rooms leave room for tomorrow.
