Property Description
Unique gingerbread Victorian with a spacious backyard and a layout made for entertaining, set in an unbeatable location - across the street from Ingall's Rink, down the block from Yale's Pauli Murray College and Scantlebury Park, 2 blocks from the Peabody Museum or Marsh Botanical Garden. Walk to work at Yale or downtown + easy access to 91/95 for commutes. Original house features lovely hardwood floors and trim, a curving staircase, and gorgeous hand-carved fretwork, along with eat-in kitchen, cozy den, generous dining and living rooms, three bedrooms and 1 full bath. Large 1980s addition created an extra 1/2 bath (permitted plans available for converting to 2nd full bath) plus a soaring Great Room with open-plan loft level, and an architect-designed "interior deck," offering a lovely, creative flow of space from indoors to out and back again. Fireplace in the Great Room works well for cozy fires; the dining room features an additional fireplace, currently used as decorative only. 2024 revamp of the HVAC system brought the home into the 21st century, with a high-efficiency hybrid heat-pump heating/cooling system for comfort and savings. If the 2500+ square feet floor plan is not enough, there's also potential to finish out the gabled attic, and/or parts of the basement. Come enjoy the best of old and new, in a home with a graceful layout and quiet yard, offering peaceful sanctuary in the midst of the city.
