The location is perfect if you're looking to get outside of New Haven without going too far! This lovely house is an easy walk/jog to East Rock Park and Edgerton Park, and a 10-minute drive to Yale. You can walk to the Whitneyville food market, the local post office, a coffee/book shop, yoga studio, wine store, Irish pub, and several delicious Hamden eateries. The house itself is a spacious, three-story, light-filled abode. The main floor is hardwood throughout with a living room and open kitchen/dining room. The bright and cheerful kitchen includes all new stainless appliances (gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator), white quartz countertops and an eat-in island. The kitchen/dining room opens onto the charming covered porch and open deck overlooking the leafy backyard: perfect for grilling, entertaining and taking in the birdsong that fills this maturely-treed, peaceful neighborhood. The second floor, also hardwood throughout, has a master bedroom with walk-in closet, a full bathroom, a guest bedroom, and a small office/baby's room. The third floor is recently redone with new carpet spanning the two upstairs bedrooms with two closets apiece, plus a bathroom with shower. Skylights and windows throughout make this gorgeous upper floor feel open and spacious. There's also an unfinished but very functional basement with full sized washer and dryer, utility sink, toilet, workshop space and lots of room for storage with shelving in place. The backyard is fully fenced.
