Description

Whether you need a multi family for owner occupied or investment, look no further than this. 1920s charm abounds in this two family in convenient location. Located off Whitney Avenue, you are minutes to Yale and all New Haven has to offer, yet minutes away to the Hamden Plaza and shopping. Walk to bus stop or quaint stores and restaurants. This property is somewhat unique in that the first floor is two bedroom one bath and the second floor and attic were combined to create a three bedroom two bath unit with the entire third floor a huge master bedroom suite and full bath. Charming front porches from both floors for relaxing or watching the world go by. Great walking area with sidewalks. Small yard makes for easy maintenance, two car detached garage and lots of off street parking. Windows and roof were newer when owner purchased 5 years ago. Full basement with interior access for storage and laundry hookups also located there. Hardwood floor, city water and sewers, gas heat.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from July 20, 2023
