Exceptional opportunity to own a brick row house in the heart of Downtown New Haven steps from Yale! Originally built in 1865, this stately property has character and charm throughout. The property is currently being used as an office, but with its BD zoning can easily be converted to a two family or back to its original use as a single family home (original certificate of occupancy states property is a single family). The main level has an elegant formal living room with high ceilings, refinished parquet floors, soaring built-in bookshelves, and excellent natural light. There is a formal dining room with an ornate marble fireplace, more bookshelves, and recessed lighting – a beautiful space for entertaining. A small fully applianced galley kitchen has good cabinet and counter space. A glass porch is located off of the dining room, and could be used as a sun porch or office. The second floor has two bedrooms with a half bath that can be converted back to a full bathroom. And the top floor offers two additional bedrooms with a full bath. The building has a large finished basement, perfect for an office or family room. The house has a stunning backyard with space for gardening, and enjoying the outdoors. Truly the best of city living, with the perks of a single family home!
