About this House

Welcome to a home bursting with character and possibility in one of New Haven's most beloved neighborhoods. This stately home sits in East Rock a historic, tree lined enclave prized for its walkability, its mix of architecturally rich homes, and its easy access to East Rock Park, Orange Street's shops and cafes, and the Yale campus just minutes away. Step inside to a grand open staircase that sets the tone the moment you walk through the door. Gleaming parquet flooring flows throughout the home, paired with full length picture windows that flood every room with natural light. A formal dining room just off the entrance offers an elegant space for entertaining, while a beautiful sun room provides the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the light year round. Two full levels of living space offer room to grow, renovate, or reimagine. Outside, a fenced-in yard offers privacy and space to relax, and the detached two car garage adds everyday convenience that's hard to find in this part of the city. With its prime East Rock location and strong bones, 178 Cold Spring presents endless potential whether you're searching for a magnificent single family home to make your own or eyeing a smart investment near Yale for campus housing. Opportunities like this, in a neighborhood this sought after, don't come around often.

    "Plenty of other dog owners walking their dogs and a big dog park under trees and with gravel so not so messy, and my dog loves getting her zoomies out and since there are dogs in the neighborhood she usually has a playmate"

    "A lot of pedestrians at all times of day & throughout the year (joggers, dog walkers, etc.). The neighborhood feels very safe even for single people living alone and there are a lot of “eyes on the street.” The neighborhood is older, so sidewalk cracks and some peeling paint is common, but despite the high number of rentals, the houses tend to be well-maintained. Mostly residential, but still plenty to do (a few restaurants/cafes, coffee shops, beer hall, gym, laundromats). Much quieter than downtown. Most street parking doesn’t require a permit. "
