BRAND NEW CONSTRUCTION. Slick Contemporary Near Yale Science Hill. Designed and developed by a distinguished architect and longtime professor at the Yale University School of Architecture, this thoughtfully crafted contemporary home blends modern design with a beautiful natural setting. The south-facing house is filled with light and opens to a serene garden backed by a dramatic forested cliff-an inspiring landscape and a wonderful place to explore. The main living space features a striking open "loft" concept that seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating an airy and welcoming environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Large decks on the south, north, and west sides extend the living space outdoors and offer multiple areas to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A long, elegant hallway leads to three bedrooms and two generous offices, providing flexibility for work-from-home or creative pursuits. The southern garden plantings will create an increasingly private and lush outdoor retreat. Additional features include a one-car garage with extra outdoor parking, durable low-maintenance exterior materials designed to last maintenance free for many years, wiring ready for solar panel installation, and an emergency generator for added peace of mind. Heating and AC - heat pump for added efficiency.
Located just a 15-20 minute walk to Yale's Science Hill, the home offers the rare combination of architectural pedigree, modern comfort, and proximity to one of New Haven's premier academic centers.
