674 Whitney Avenue

A classic colonial on prestigious Whitney Avenue, directly across from Worthington Hooker School and within walking distance to Wilbur Cross High School, Foote School, East Rock Park, and Edgerton Park. This 1924 house has all the grace and style of its era, with a front-to-back living room with a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround. The living room opens onto the rear porch, and also has a south-facing sunroom adjacent. The dining room is large and handsome, and has its own north-facing enclosed porch, perfect for your home office. The kitchen has a butler's pantry with a large secondary sink, mudroom, door to the backyard, basement access, and powder room complete with built-in makeup vanity. The second floor offers three generous bedrooms and two baths; the primary bedroom has a full private bath with stall shower. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and another full bath. Hardwood floors throughout. Off the back of the main floor is a large glassed-in porch with a freestanding hot tub. (This could easily be restored to a spacious patio.) There's a long driveway back to a detached 2-car garage. The backyard is very deep, especially for the East Rock area. Roof and natural gas heating systems are only 15 years old. Minutes to downtown New Haven and Yale campus. Bring your ideas! The kitchen and baths are somewhat dated, and the house is priced accordingly. House is being sold AS-IS; inspection for information purposes only.
