Property Description
Welcome to the most magical house you can imagine. Sitting above Lake Whitney is this privately set, outstanding mid-century modern ranch home that has walls of glass overlooking a spectacular view of a treed setting and sparkling water views. The entry foyer leads to an inviting large living room with a fireplace and a picture window. The formal dining room offers two built-in corner cabinets and leads to a renovated eat-in kitchen with excellent work and storage space. The family room has a fireplace, wet-bar, and a glass door to a lovely, serene terrace. A heated sunroom with 3 walls of glass lets you feel like you're in a tree house. The bedroom wing of the house has a master suite, plus two additional bedrooms, two baths, and a laundry area. A garden level bedroom and an additional bathroom is in the lower level of the house. There is a private walk out from this level and it would make an excellent guest suite, secret quiet home office, or an in-law area. This amazing property offers a Zen feeling of the country, yet it is minutes away from Yale, downtown New Haven, the amenities of Whitneyville, and the beautiful trails in East Rock Park. You will be captivated by this treasure of a property!
