Perhaps the most beautiful house you will ever see! This exquisite estate type property is surrounded by 2.25 acres of mature landscaping and woodlands. The grand entry hall with a fireplace and double height ceiling has a graceful double staircase. A decorative arched entry archway leads to a spectacular living room with walls of glass, a fireplace, and a tasteful original fountain. The spacious music room has built-in bookcases and a large opening to a glorious sunroom that has almost floor to ceiling windows that offer views of the woods. Glass doored built-ins, a beamed ceiling, wood paneled walls, and FP make the library warm and inviting. A swoon worthy double dining room has raised paneling, another FP, wonderful walls of windows, and can accommodate a large group for entertaining. The charming kitchen has metal cabinetry, a showcase stove, fining area, and a wonderful pantry with glass door cabinets. The elegant primary suite has woodland views, a delightful window seat, abundant closet space, full bath, and two dressing areas. There are 4 additional good-sized bedrooms and 3 more baths on the second level, plus a lovely balcony overlooking the entry foyer. Anover-sized two car garage has a 2-bedroom guest apartment above it. The outstanding setting makes you feel like you're deep in the country, yet you are minutes from Yale, Hamden Hall, St. Thomas' Day School, Foote School, Downtown New Haven, Whitneyville, and major highways. This is a not to be missed property!
