29-A Eld Street
New Haven, Connecticut

Description:

One of only a handful of authentic 1890's carriage houses remaining in New Haven, this East Rock gem is special from the moment you walk in. Original hand-laid brick, centuries-old exposed wood beams, and a stunning art deco stained glass window set the tone for everything that follows. The sun-filled kitchen features dual skylights and a beautiful oak breakfast bar that flows naturally into the living area. Open, warm, high ceilings and full of character. A private first-floor bedroom opens through French doors to a thoughtfully designed brick patio, your own quiet retreat in the heart of the city. The sculptural wrought iron spiral staircase leads to a dramatic loft with soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed brick, twin skylights, and an arched window - originally used to pull hay bales up for the horses - that now frames a beautiful treetop view. A separate French door entry connects to a private office suite attached to the main house, ideal for working from home or hosting out of town guests. Two dedicated parking spaces and perfectly situated close to Yale, downtown, cafes, and restaurants to complete this one-of-a-kind package. With comparably price condos nearby, you can skip the HOA and have your own private retreat in the heart of it all. Truly unique properties like this don't come along often.
