Steeped in history and rich with potential, this 1878 antique farmhouse in West Haven's sought-after West Shore neighborhood is ready for its next chapter. Set on a rare .84-acre parcel-just moments from the shoreline-it offers a unique combination of space, character, and opportunity. A sweeping staircase welcomes you inside, setting the tone for the home's timeless appeal. Original doors, wood floors throughout, and generously scaled rooms reflect craftsmanship from another era. Every corner hints at what once was, and what could be again. Once a two-family home, now configured as a single-family residence, the layout offers flexibility for today's needs. Restore, reimagine, or redesign, the canvas is here. Whether you're envisioning multi-generational living, income potential, or a thoughtfully updated home, the possibilities are wide open. The walk-up attic adds even more opportunity, with two finished rooms already in place and additional space ready to transform. Yes, it needs updating. But for those who value land, character, and location, this is a rare chance to bring new life to a true West Shore classic.
