Property Description
Wooster Square - one of New Haven's most beloved neighborhoods! 96 Lyon Street delivers the space, the updates, and the lifestyle to match. Thoughtfully updated in 2004, this 2,262sf residence lives comfortably across two full floors, with high ceilings on first floor and expansion potential in the unfinished walk-up attic. The main level welcomes you with a spacious formal living room, an elegant dining room, an architecturally redesigned kitchen w/induction range ties it all together. A flexible bonus room perfect as a guest bedroom or home office and a full bathroom. Upstairs, a spacious second living area sets the tone, with two large bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet and one a washer and dryer. There is a third flex room ideal for an office or additional sleeping space. A second full bathroom adds everyday convenience for your busy household! Out front, a welcoming porch frames views of the downtown New Haven skyline. Out back, a private low-maintenance retreat awaits, with a cherry tree, pea gravel walkway, perennial garden primed for spring, and an inviting patio space to enjoy quality time outdoors. Newer windows throughout, central air on the second floor and a mini split on the first adds comfort year round. An energy-efficient Viessmann boiler and water heater combo round out a home that's as practical as it is polished. A tandem driveway fits two cars, and downtown, Union Station, and the best of the Elm City are all a short away.
