Description

Set in Hamden's coveted Giant Valley, with Sleeping Giant as your backdrop and a polo field just beyond the front fence, 180 River Road offers a rare opportunity to own a true horse property without sacrificing comfort, design, or quality of life. Built in 2001, this custom home is filled with natural light and thoughtful details throughout. A welcoming foyer opens to a formal dining room, which flows into a spacious kitchen, with a large laundry/mudroom conveniently located off the main entry - perfect for country living. The heart of the home is the two-story living room, anchored by a striking stone fireplace with a natural wood mantle, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The first-floor primary suite offers privacy and ease, featuring a generous walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower. The first-floor office with custom built-ins, a powder room, and abundant storage, including a coat closet and linen storage, round out the main level. Wide-plank character hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and timeless charm. Upstairs, you'll find the remaining bedrooms and a shared hall bath, including one bedroom with an exceptionally large closet - ideal for a nursery, office, or creative space. A large, clean basement provides even more storage and flexibility. A wood-burning stove significantly reduces heating costs. Outside, the property truly shines. Designed for equestrian use, it features a 4-stall barn, fenced paddocks, and open space, yet it's rare to find a horse property paired with such a beautiful, move-in-ready home. The land features approximately 500 feet of private river frontage, offering peace, privacy, and stunning views. Enjoy sunrises over Sleeping Giant, sunsets behind the private hill, morning coffee on the stone patio tucked between birch trees, or a quiet moment from the rocking double seat at the top of the hill. The location supports an active, outdoor lifestyle: nearby access to Sleeping Giant State Park's Gorge Trail, miles of horseback riding trails, including ridge trails. Across the street, enjoy fishing and ice skating, with additional fishing along the Mill River bridge. In spring, the landscape comes alive with pink and white dogwood blooms. An added benefit of the location is its proximity to Quinnipiac University, making it easy to enjoy campus events such as nationally recognized hockey games. Unique, scenic, and thoughtfully designed, 180 River Road is more than a home-it's a lifestyle rarely found in this setting. Hamden is in a 4 year phase in for re-assessment valuation. The current advertised assessment is reflective of current assessment in year 1. The assessment will increase $33,232.33 for each of the next 3 years. Future mill rate is still undetermined still to be set by City of Hamden based on future city budget.
