A peaceful retreat with an artist studio amidst a bucolic 12+ mostly wooded acres, yet less than 15 minutes from downtown New Haven and walking distance to Sleeping Giant State Park.

On the main floor there is a sizable and bright living/dining space with a Finnish soapstone Tulikivi wood burning stove. A glass door leads to an adjacent bluestone patio and brownstone terraces overlooking a 20'x40' in-ground pool. An L-shaped kitchen opens to a breakfast room with a large pantry and white marble floor. Also on the main floor, off the generous size entry hall, a private bedroom with a full bath is located. Attached to the main house is a spacious studio wing accessed by either a long corridor or separate entry. It is a large, open room with cathedral ceiling and built-ins, full bath and access to a small blue stone patio. Upstairs has three bedrooms and a full bath.
