    What's special

    Beautifully restored historic Colonial offering the perfect blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern updates. Originally taken down to the studs and completely renovated by a respected local nonprofit, this home has since been beautifully redesigned and further upgraded by the current owners with exceptional attention to detail. The tastefully updated interior features an upgraded kitchen, four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two half bathrooms and a fully finished walk up attic. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, from the recently painted exterior to the meticulously maintained living spaces. Outside, the property offers established gardens, greenhouse structures, and inviting outdoor spaces for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the surroundings. Ideally located within walking distance of Science Park, the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, and the exciting new retail and commercial developments transforming the Winchester Avenue corridor, this home combines historic charm, modern comfort, and outstanding convenience in one of New Haven's most dynamic neighborhoods.
