An extraordinary piece of New Haven history, this 1911 Colonial in the historic Beaver Hills neighborhood - celebrated for its architectural heritage - has been cherished by the same family since 1983. Situated on a .33-acre lot, the home combines timeless beauty with incredible potential for modern personalization, featuring a welcoming 36' x 11' covered front porch, a distinctive porte-cochere, and a private backyard oasis with an in-ground pool and a detached two-car garage with pool storage and changing rooms. Step inside the grand foyer to find 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, original woodwork, built-in benches, a classic double-sided staircase, and a hidden passageway that connects directly to the kitchen. The expansive main level offers a bright living room with a classic fireplace, custom built-ins, and French doors opening to the front porch for seamless indoor-outdoor relaxation. Flowing smoothly from the living room is a formal dining room defined by a magnificent coffered ceiling. Pocket doors open into a bright sunroom with direct pool access, while the main level is completed by a functional kitchen with an inviting breakfast nook and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, you will find 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a second sunroom ideal for a quiet home office or library. Located just minutes from Yale University, Downtown New Haven, Edgewood Park, dining, and commuter routes, this landmark residence is truly a rare find with endless potential.
