An Historical Hideaway with a Secret Garden, this stately pre-Revolutionary colonial home on the east side of New Haven Harbor is just a few steps from the Pardee Seawall. This unique treasure with an expansive front porch and a lovely perennial garden that blooms throughout the growing season, will charm you all year long. The backyard features a cast iron fountain, a large brick patio, and stone benches for entertaining during the summer months. It has a central chimney, two fireplaces, and a crane-and-beehive oven. In addition, the home has two wood stoves; wide plank flooring, and 12 over 12 windows with many original panes. The plaster walls have been restored to their original condition. A spacious and romantic double parlor connects to the expansive eat-in kitchen which was originally a post and beam barn that had been added to the rear of the house. The second level consists of a master suite with a walk in closet, a dressing area with an office, and an additional bedroom. The beautiful wide pine flooring and carefully maintained hardware and doors are reflective of the colonial period. A detached two-car garage completes the property. A pleasure to show for those who must have a unique vintage home!
