Prime Blake Road location! Minutes to Yale and town centers (New Haven/Hamden), set on a large private, wooded park-like lot, this expansive Cape features an unusual open floor plan: an oversized Living Room with Fireplace that opens seamlessly to a sun-filled family room, and California-style kitchen with custom cabinetry, black granite counters and farm sink. The first floor has a bedroom, another room with a closet that can be used as den/office/bedroom, as well as a full updated bathroom with a stall shower. The second floor has two large bedrooms and a remodeled bathroom with bath/shower combination. The private patio off the family room and treed yard makes this property unique even on Blake Road, a gardener’s and bird-watcher’s paradise. There is also a 2 car attached garage and full basement. The house was newly painted just last year, and a new boiler and air conditioning condenser were added in 2022.

What a wonderful house! Tucked away on a beautiful wooded let, yet close to Yale and Town. Open feeling floor plan. First floor has an entry foyer, large combination living room/dining room with fireplace, built-in bookcases, large window overlooking the yard. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated and has granite counters, a farm house sink, and excellent work and storage space. The first floor family room/music room has a vaulted ceiling and skylight and is bathed in sunlight. There is a full bath, a bedroom plus a bedroom/study to complete this floor. The second floor has two huge bedrooms and another full bath. There are hardwood floors throughout and the bathrooms have been nicely updated. The two car garage is under the house and gives easy, protected entry to the house. Energy efficient cellulose insulation has been added to the house and new double pane windows were also added. The yard behind the house is remarkable and feels like an enchanted garden, with mature trees and plantings and natural rock outcroppings. This house is full of charm and personality and it truly remarkable.
