111 Clinton Ave, New Haven, CT 06513

Fair Haven, CT has come a long way over the years. I recently had the pleasure of meeting the Chatham Neighborhood Committee. With great incentives for "healthy neighborhoods", beautifying the homes and activities re: holiday park parties, women exercise groups in the early am, and bike lanes this is a great area to invest in. And I do mean, invest. Home repair programs, monthly neighborhood meetings and web site information galore, make this area a true education in what is available to the buyers, first time buyers or just anyone!This Greek Revival renovation was built in 1850's, dating back to oyster depot times, the fabulous Grand Avenue bridge and countless historical buildings that have been revived since the early 1990's. Architectural styles are unique with; Italian villas, Romanesque, Gothic, Victorian, Queen Anne styles... and the list goes on. Combine the young families, large yards, community activities and magnet school selections and you have a home run! > This Clinton Avenue home named the Preston Maynard Greek Revival Home is listed with the New Haven Preservation Trust, where you can obtain the exact names and development of this unique piece of land between 1847 and 1859. Classic gables, paired center chimneys and an old barn are part of the distinct driveby. Step on to the brick walkway, front porch and formal, oversized foyer, the tall ceilings and attention to detail are everywhere. The current sellers have maintained an historical flare, still combining the pine flooring, remodeled kitchen and huge living room with a "move in" feeling. The first floor laundry room w/half bath is definitely convenient, but not original! Fireplaces are central to each side of the first floor, open space, loads of light and a breakfast area overlooking the fabulous yard of plantings and patio create a cozy and peaceful place for coffee. The second floor has three bedrooms, two baths, (one is oversized with jacuzzi, etc.) and the third floor...magnificient.. brand
