New Haven Connecticut

Description:

Step into storybook charm with this captivating, Tudor treasure in sought-after, sidewalk-lined Westville! Brimming with original character circa 1925, such as the living and dining room coffered ceilings, leaded diamond-quarry windows, sconce lighting, French doors, and exquisite moldings and millwork, this nearly 3,000sqft, four-bedroom home offers preserved vintage elegance as well as the modern necessities. Namely, the kitchen, with its updated appliances, counters and cabinets, has been expanded to include a breakfast bar island and sun-drenched dining area overlooking the yard. A powder room and butler's pantry complete the thoughtful design. A newer deck off the kitchen and the brilliant sun room also overlooks the yard. Two staircases at the front and rear of the home whisk you upstairs, where three generous, hardwood-floored bedrooms share a beautifully tiled bathroom. The third floor, however, offers the homeowners their own personal penthouse escape with a lovely primary bathroom and walk-in closet. Sitting on a through lot, with the two-car garage accessed from Oliver Road, provides prized privacy from the rear yard; its sunny, southern exposure, a wonderful bonus for the gardening enthusiast. This gem is a short commute to Yale and downtown New Haven, and minutes to Hopkins School, Edgewood Park, Westville Village, and the Music Bowl. This storybook setting is more than a home-it's where your next chapter begins!
