Architect designed, award-winning home on sought after Lincoln Street. Built in 1840 and renovated and expanded in 2016 by architect Paul Bailey, this contemporary design is truly breathtaking. The main level is an open concept floor plan with flexible living and dining space, soaring coffered ceilings, professional lighting, and a show stopping two story steel glass window. A cozy den or living space in the front of the house has restored original windows and a double-sided fireplace. The designer kitchen has stone counters, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances and a breakfast bar. An alcove is used for a piano currently and would also be well suited for an office, with more custom designed window. The first floor also includes a remodeled half bath, a stunning staircase, and an elevator for ease of access from first to second floor. The second floor offers a two-room primary suite with a walk-in closet and renovated bathroom. The third floor has a second bedroom with a remodeled bathroom, a large closet, and access to an incredible rooftop deck that overlooks New Haven. Professionally landscaped yard with a bluestone terrace, and a 2 car garage. Steps from Yale, Downtown New Haven, New Haven Lawn Club and Yale SOM. Houses like this one do not come on the market often!
