This charming 4-bedroom colonial is situated on a generous 1.51-acre level lot and has been owned by the same person for almost 50 years. The front entry foyer w/slate tile floor leads to a functional floor plan, including formal living and dining rooms with crown molding and hardwood floors. The family room features exposed beams, built-in bookcases, and a wood-burning fireplace for those colder winter months. The kitchen has a thoughtful layout which includes a breakfast/eat-in area with sliders to a large deck overlooking a peaceful and expansive backyard. This property backs up to CL&P property, offering a truly private setting. A convenient mudroom area steps up from the two-car garage with laundry area and staircase to a bonus room on the upper level. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and two full baths, providing comfortable living arrangements. You'll appreciate the comfort of central A/C and peace of mind with an automatic generator. The property boasts a prime location, just a stone's throw away from Pease Place Community Playground and Athletic Field, and scenic walking trails. Enjoy the convenience of easy access to Yale, downtown New Haven, shopping areas, Route 15, and Route 8. In addition to its appealing features, this home is part of an award-winning school district; a 2 minute drive to Amity High School.
