474 Ridge Rd, Hamden, CT 06517

This sunny yellow farmhouse, which was once part of the Eli Whitney compound, is filled with charm and character. The house is nicely set back from the road and the white picket fence and beautiful plantings enhance the curb appeal. The rocking chair front porch leads to a double living room with built-ins, a bay window, wood floors, and an open airy feeling. The dining room has a gracious built-in china cabinet and a large opening to the updated kitchen/ family room. There is excellent work and storage space in the kitchen, white cabinets, wood counter tops, a dining area plus a seating area with a wood burning stove. The first floor also has a bedroom and full bathroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a large, open room with a vaulted ceiling. There is a full bath on this level. The house has gas heat, hot water, and cooking. Sunlight streams through every room in the house. The driveway leads to a one car garage which is beneath the house. The grounds are filled with mature plantings and good outdoor spaces. Great location close to Yale, YNHH, Town, highway access, and parks and recreation.
