A one of a kind gem, in the Wooster Square area! This multi-family colonial, c.1867, was renovated by a New Haven architect. The renovation begins with the exterior with its new shingled clapboard and rocking chair front porch sitting on floorboards cut on the diagonal. It immediately creates visual interest and welcomes one up to the front door. The architect added an eclectic mix of old and new, the modern porch light fixtures mixed with the colorful exterior paint colors. Inside that wonderful mix of old and new continues, but is elevated with curved walls, and intimate recesses. Kitchen and baths are updated. Both units have stainless steel appliances and are eat-in kitchens. There are separate, yet open dining rooms to the living rooms. The 2nd floor has a dramatic 2 story living room with a chestnut beam that keeps it grounded. Added bonuses are a loft space in the 2nd floor unit and a partially finished basement room that could be used as a wine cellar. This must-have, colonial could be easily used as a single family home. A great, large backyard, perfect for entertaining in a wonderful, walking neighborhood completes the picture. This home is conveniently located between Yale University and the Yale New Haven medical campus area! See 100+ photos at www.lyonstreetnewhaven.com. In Yale Homebuyers Program area!
