Perched high above the shoreline with sweeping views of Long Island Sound, this unique property evokes the charm of Sausalito, CA. Overlooking the Yale Corinthian Yacht Club, this hilltop home offers stunning vistas of sailboats and sunsets. Currently configured as a two-family residence, it features a spacious two-bedroom owner's unit and a separate two-bedroom apartment - ideal for multigenerational living or rental income. A large deck nestled among the treetops creates a treehouse-like setting, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings with a view. A separate accessory building on the property provides flexible space for a private home office, artist's studio, or comfortable quarters for visiting guests. Just steps from the sandy beach and the vibrant Short Beach community, and only minutes to Yale and downtown New Haven. Convert back to a single-family retreat or keep it as a savvy investment - the possibilities are as expansive as the views. NOT A DRIVE BY
