About This Home
This timeless 1922 renovated Westville colonial perfectly retains its elegant architectural details and been reimagined for modern living. The beautiful entry foyer has a gracious staircase and large openings to the LR and DR. The beautifully balanced bright living room has a classic center fireplace and glass French doors to an exquisite, heated sunroom with a stone fireplace and three exposure. The spacious dining room opens to a cook's dream kitchen with white cabinets, marble counters, a huge island, 2 sink areas, Subzero and Wolf appliances. It's perfection! A half bath completes this floor. A small, charming, heated sunroom at the top of the stairs is a magical spot to cozy up with a book. The second level offers a glamorous primary bedroom that feels like a private retreat. It has a stunning full bath and a two-section walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms, another full bath and a laundry area on this level. Two additional rooms are on the third floor and are ideal for additional bedrooms or studies. There is also a full bath with a clawfoot tub on this floor. The house has efficient new heat and hot water, central air conditioning and updated electric. The professionally landscaped yard and patio area are a delightful place to spend outdoor time. The great location is close to Yale, YNHH, Hopkins, Southern CT, Westville Village and places of worship. Rarely does a house of this charm, character and outstanding condition become available.
