Original architectural details—including soaring ceilings, exposed beams, masonry fireplaces, and classic Tudor design—have been carefully preserved while the kitchen, bathrooms, and living spaces have been completely transformed with today's finest finishes. At the heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, natural stone countertops and backsplash, a professional-grade gas range, oversized farmhouse sink, premium stainless steel appliances, and elegant brass fixtures. The kitchen opens naturally into spacious gathering areas designed for entertaining, holidays, and everyday living. The expansive living room is flooded with natural light from walls of windows overlooking the private grounds. Multiple fireplaces, formal dining spaces, and generous entertaining areas create an inviting atmosphere equally suited for intimate evenings or large family gatherings. The luxurious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with an impressive spa-inspired bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized custom glass shower with designer brass fixtures, dual vanities, and timeless finishes that rival those found in boutique luxury hotels. Outside, mature trees and nearly an acre of professionally landscaped grounds provide exceptional privacy while remaining only minutes from Yale University, Yale New Haven Hospital, downtown New Haven, East Rock Park, and major commuter routes.
