Located in New Haven's finest neighborhood, our home is an easy walk to Yale. Built in 1912, it is a historic beauty that we have carefully updated and maintained. The ground floor features a spacious living room, dining room, library, and half bath. The bright and spacious eat-in kitchen, which we added, is a gourmet cook's dream. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, an updated, sun-filled porch, and the main bath with new shower and large soaking tub. The 3rd floor has a very private bedroom and a historic bathroom with a claw-foot tub. (The bathroom is off a short hall, so it is available to everyone in your party, if desired.) The grassy backyard is the largest on the block and features a brick patio with picnic table, chiminea, and modern gas barbecue. The comfortable basement houses the washer and dryer and includes 3 exercise machines facing a flat screen TV.
Across the street, the 430 acre East Rock Park offers open fields, a basketball court, a picnic area, paved bike paths, a small river suitable for canoeing and kayaking, ice skating rink, and miles of hiking trails to summits with spectacular views of the city and Long Island Sound. Neighborhood amenities within short walking distance include three small markets, two coffee shops, wine store, two pubs, gourmet pizza restaurant, fitness center, craft beer brewery, organic beauty salon, and a restaurant featuring northern Italian cuisine and seasonal outdoor seating. It is only a slightly longer walk to many more restaurants, bars, the city's finest pastry shop, and several churches.
Two blocks away a high school has many tennis and paddle-ball courts, more basketball courts, and a rubberized track. The courts have night lighting.
