About this home
Situated in a parklike setting with panoramic views of the New Haven skyline, this Dutch Colonial has been carefully restored and updated to retain its authenticity while providing a comfortable, aesthetic living space for its inhabitants. Owned by the same family for 72 years, the home is situated on an elevated 2.93 acre parcel that provides privacy yet convenience to the West Haven Train Station, Tweed Airport, I-95 and Downtown New Haven. Features of the 4 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath residence include hardwood floors throughout, chestnut woodwork, a large screened porch, walkout basement and terraced perennial gardens. The property could potentially be subdivided into four parcels, with the house on a 1.2 acre lot, the heated barn on a .7 acre lot and two building lots at .4 and .6 acres. Endless possibilities await at this unique property. Hope you'll come to see & explore its full potential.
